Additional chapter options

Below the chapter table are further options for handling the chapters when creating the ePub file:



Including chapter titles

Below the chapter table is the checkbox option Include Chapter-titles within book, which automatically places the chapter title at the beginning of a chapter as the book is being created.

Include the Cover-Sheet page

The Cover-Sheet page is the first page after the cover and normally displays only the title and name of the author of the book. However, additional metadata can be displayed. On top of that, an individual name can be assigned to the Cover-Sheet page, which will be used in the book navigation. The Cover-Sheet page can be set up individually via the preferences of eBookBinder in the area Templates.

Embed a table of contents

If you want to add a table of contents to the book, eBookBinder compiles it automatically. For this, the chapter names are used and are automatically linked. On top of that, the table of contents can be assigned an individual name, which should be used in the book navigation.

Note: If no title is set, eBookBinder uses the text "Table of Contents" to add this page to the navigation. However, this title is automatically hidden by some eBook readers so that it does not appear in the navigation of the respective reader (e.g., in Apple iBooks). If this is not desired, a different title should be used for the table of contents.

Embed a cover-chapter

Many modern eBooks and corresponding eBook readers only show the cover picture briefly when opening an eBook for the first time and this cover picture cannot be displayed in the normal reader display again, since the cover picture is not considered part of the book content. With the option Embed a cover-chapter this behavior is avoided and thus the cover can be displayed at any time in the reader.

Define the starting chapter

With this option it can be determined which area of ​​a book should be opened when the respective eBook is opened for the first time. The following three options are available:


Note: If you select the options cover picture and table of contents, the corresponding options for embedding a cover-chapter or the table of contents are automatically activated. Likewise, the option to set the starting chapter will be reset by deactivating the options embed a cover-chapter or embed the table of contents.
Note: Not all eBook readers support this function and just start the respective eBook at the beginning.
