Heading structure in multivolume epubs

[Simon818]

Currently the beginnings of chapters are all level-1 headings, likely because that's what the original pages use. I wonder if there's any way these could be changed to h2 for multivolume epubs, with a single level-1 heading at the beginning of each volume. I'm not sure if there's an easy way to modify this, and to truly get it right you'd need to shift all headings down by one level in case there's any existing subheadings in the chapters. However, it does come with some benefits: Any file conversions into flat formats (HTML, DOCX, etc) will have a proper heading structure, and ebook readers with heading shortcuts will be able to jump by volume instead of just by chapter. I personally use a screen-reader, and when in a webpage or other document with headings, I can press the numbers 1 through 6 to find the next heading at the given level. Thanks for your consideration and for such a great tool.

First--apologies for the long-delayed response.

I'll look into doing so for multi volume epubs. I've played around with it some in the past and ultimately decided I really preferred a 1 epub to 1 volume approach and stopped worrying about multivolume builds. It shouldn't be too tricky, though.

No worries. And you're right that single volumes are less unwieldy in some ways. If you decided to remove the multivolume functionality instead of fixing it, I personally wouldn't be super sad about it. But I do like having it all together in some instances, and figured if the tool is going to do multivolumes it makes sense to change the heading structure.
