PG's headers and footers (text and HTML) have been revised for assorted reasons. I tried James' small test file and got a massive error output. Forwarded its first and last few lines to PG's software people and got this back: Ebookmaker adds headers to RST files, but the new headers are not in the latest ebookmaker release. I wasn't given an ETA.

The attachment is pretty close to that. I found that the Appendix chapter seems to be causing the problem. Not sure why as it has only one heading, nothing unusual about it, but if you get rid of the Appendix the files get created OK and if you have it in they don't.

I'm hoping that one of you can see what I'm missing. My RST files all use this underline format for the headings: ============= for the title ----------------------- for h1 `````````````````````` for h2 This is consistent with what the PG footer uses and has NEVER caused problems in the past. An example of where I've used it successfully is here: https://dev.gutenberg.org/files/64046/ The situation where I generally get the error is if I try to add a fourth level. I've learned not to do that. The attached file uses exactly the same convention and fails. Works just fine with no PG footer directive, fails with Title level inconsistent once you add that directive. The TOC shows the levels I would expect to get. I have tried removing the ``````` level underlining and that changes the error reported (different character reported as not in list, ` instead of =) ValueError: '=' is not in list but it still fails. Removing the ---- as well doesn't fail but of course you have no headings https://ebookmaker.pglaf.org/cache/20201229095936/ is my latest attempt to run this. The RST file is attached. Thanks.
