If you're using Google Docs to create your eBook, you're probably familiar with adding headings and titles. However, when you're ready to convert your document into an EPUB3 eBook using Doc Book Maker, there's a key detail to keep in mind to ensure a smooth Table of Contents (TOC) integration.
Using Headers for Table of Contents
Doc Book Maker automatically generates a Table of Contents based on the headings in your Google Doc. Specifically, it looks for Header 1 (H1) and Header 2 (H2) tags to build the structure of your TOC.
- Header 1 is typically used for the main sections or chapters of your book.
- Header 2 is for subsections or topics within those chapters.
These headers will be automatically converted into clickable links in your EPUB3 eBook’s Table of Contents, making navigation easy for readers.
Avoid Using "TITLE" Formatting for TOC
No Need to Insert a TOC in Google Docs
Summary
To recap:
- Use H1 for main headings and H2 for subheadings.
- Do not use the TITLE format in Google Docs if you want the title to be part of the Table of Contents.
- You don’t need to manually insert a TOC in Google Docs—Doc Book Maker does that for you.
With Doc Book Maker, creating a professional, well-structured eBook with a ready-to-go Table of Contents is seamless and easy. Happy converting!
