Creating TOC for ePub output

[elissag]

I am exploring the ePub output in RH9, using Adobe Digital Editions to view the output. When I generate the output, I get a message that the TOC file is missing (see below). The solution that I found involves creating an NCX file for the table of contents - however, the instructions are geared toward creating a book for a Kindle. I've tried adapting the instructions for a RH file, but haven't had any luck. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks.

At the risk of asking a daft question, when you configured the SSL you did specify a TOC?

Take a look at the sample projects and see if they work for this layout.

The problem may also be that you are using some special characters in your project name. This is resolved in later versions of the script, but if you install patch 902, you need to manually replace the script in the script pod with the file in your robohelp installatiion folder. See http://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/release-note/robohelp-9-0-2-readme.html

As Peter suggests, the script will create the NCX file if you SSL contains a (non-empty) TOC.

Hi,

I followed your advice, and looked at a sample project - Employee Care. When I generated ePub output using this project, the output included a table of contents. However, when I specified a TOC in my project (see below), I still get the same message that the TOC file is missing. The project name doesn't contain any special characters.

Hi,

If this is helpful, here's a screenshot of the XML Output Options dialog box for my project:

Do you have 7-Zip on your machine?

The script will not work properly with other zip programs.

Try a new simple two topic project as well.
