Not too surprising. There has never been an expectation at DP that there be any markup to distinguish chapter headings from any other text that might share the same font characteristics. Paragraphs (as distinguished by "<p>" tags) can appear indiscriminately around text wherever it might need to be distinguished for whatever reason. One can't fault the proofreaders. No one of authority has ever shown an interest in markup to define structure rather than appearance. Don On Mon, Sep 24, 2012 at 10:03 AM, James Adcock <jimad@msn.com> wrote:
How about trying your experiment with more recent books? The current crop are up in the 40000+ range.
OK, as a "sanity check" I went back and double-checked more recent submissions to see if they are no being formatted "reasonably correctly." IE, if this was an e-book that I had bought commercially would I say "yes, this formatted reasonably" or "no, this book has corrupted formatting." Not a high standard, just: does this book "work" or not?
40000 no 40001 no 40002 no 40003 no 40004 no 40005 no 40006 no 40007 no 40008 no 40009 no
The two most common and glaring problems are:
1) Paragraphs are not formatted "reasonably" corresponding to any known standard of formatting at any point in time of mankind.
And 2) No TOC in an e-book where one would reasonably expect and need a TOC.
