I have an ebook that I converted to html using Calibre which leaves me with the file structure shown below.
I then tried the following:
1. I imported the index.html with Forge but that resulted in an empty ss5book file.
2. I then manually created a book module by following the instructions provided by Bill in a different thread (https://forums.swordsearcher.com/threads/how-do-i-link-to-images-in-user-module.3416/#post-19623).
3. Bill's instructions work fine but I wanted the book's drop down list populated with the table of contents entries. I added entries "$$ chapterName" just above the content of each chapter within the html and again imported the html into Forge but ended up with another empty book.
4. I put the manually created module from step 2 back in place.
5. Thinking that Forge did not like the format of the html generated by Calibre I went into Edit mode and copied the contents of the module from the Design tab rather than the Code window. I pasted the contents right back into the Editor's Design tab knowing that SS would generate suitable html.
6. I copied the source of the html rendered by SS and added the $$ chapterName entries in the appropriate locations.
7. I tried to import the new html file into SS but again ended up with an empty module.
At this point I'm clueless as to how to get a module out of Forge and the crazy part is that I have gotten it to work in the past. Any pointers that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
