I watched Anne Marie Concepcion’s series of InDesign tutorials, and I’m now working on David Blatner’s series. I was confused at first, but now it’s starting to fall in place fairly rapidly.
One thing I’m a little confused about is Chapter Breaks.
I created a paragraph style named “Top” and applied it to a heading I want to appear at the top of the page. I exported it as an epub, and it worked even better than I expected; not only did it appear at the top of the next page, but InDesign did NOT turn it into a separate file, which really surprised me.
But here’s where it gets a little tricky. I would like my headers to have proper header tags (h2, h3, etc.). So I opened that file with BBEdit and replaced the paragraph tags with h3 tags. Then I found the style that creates page breaks and duplicated it, like this:
h3.Top {
page-break-after:auto;
page-break-before:auto;
}
However, my makeover doesn’t work; the header now doesn’t appear at the top of the page.
Does anyone know how to make this work, or am I pursuing a lost cause?
Thanks.
