ToC epub in the end of the document

Hey,

I am trying to add the ToC right after the Bookcover. However after converting the document to the epub, the page in the beginning that is supposed to be Toc is empty and ToC on the last page of the document.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks

“Converting”? Do you mean Export as EPUB? Reflowable EPUB?

Order in Articles panel? Text threaded in frames?

we need some more info...

Sorry, I am completely beginner.

Yes, I mean exporting.

It is a reflowable EPUB.

I tried the order in Article panel, after the book cover and the page with all rights reserved, I put the ToC. After exporting, the ToC appeared on the right place but it was not working, because the text of the book after the ToC disappeared. Order based on page layout shows all the text, just the ToC is somehow in the very last page.

Do you have content that links from the cover then picks up after the TOC? If so, that is determining the order of objects and is probably causing the TOC to get pushed to the end of the document. Unlink the content so that the story on the cover is it's own and then a new story starts after the TOC.

Probably a silly question, but how can I find out if the content is linked?

As one of the moderators, my job is to keep topics in the right place. I'm moving this conversation about InDesign EPUB to the appropriate forum.

Select the frame on the cover with the Selection tool (Black Arrow tool). Choose View > Extras > Show Text Threads. Is there a line connecting the frame on the cover to the frame on the page after the TOC?

Thanks for the explanation. No, there is no such a line.

The TOC page frame must be anchored to the text it is to follow — usually something like the copyright notice.

If the frame is unanchored, it will "fall to the bottom" as unanchored graphics do.

 

That said, in-text TOCs are something to avoid in e-books. The dynamic TOC can be made much deeper in levels and is instantly at hand no matter where the reader is. Print =/= e-book... respect the medium.
