"Knowing the encoding of the source file: calibre tries to guess what "

"you need to tell it what encoding to use. This can be done in the GUI via "

" to change this setting repeatedly. A common encoding for many files from "
"the web is ``cp1252`` and I would suggest you try that first. Note that when"

msgstr ""

#: ../../home/kovid/work/calibre/manual/faq.rst:56
msgid ""
"The first thing to realize is that most e-books have two tables of contents."
" One is the traditional Table of Contents, like the ToC you find in paper "
"books. This Table of Contents is part of the main document flow and can be "
"styled however you like. This ToC is called the *content ToC*."
msgstr ""

#: ../../home/kovid/work/calibre/manual/faq.rst:58
msgid ""
"Then there is the *metadata ToC*. A metadata ToC is a ToC that is not part "
"of the book text and is typically accessed by some special button on a "
"reader. For example, in the calibre viewer, you use the Show Table of "
"Contents button to see this ToC. This ToC cannot be styled by the book "
"creator. How it is represented is up to the viewer program."
msgstr ""

#: ../../home/kovid/work/calibre/manual/faq.rst:60
msgid ""
"In the MOBI format, the situation is a little confused. This is because the "
"MOBI format, alone amongst mainstream e-book formats, *does not* have decent"
" support for a metadata ToC. A MOBI book simulates the presence of a "
"metadata ToC by putting an *extra* content ToC at the end of the book. When "
"you click Goto Table of Contents on your Kindle, it is to this extra content"
" ToC that the Kindle takes you."
msgstr ""

#: ../../home/kovid/work/calibre/manual/faq.rst:62
msgid ""
"Now it might well seem to you that the MOBI book has two identical ToCs. "
"Remember that one is semantically a content ToC and the other is a metadata "
"ToC, even though both might have exactly the same entries and look the same."
" One can be accessed directly from the Kindle's menus, the other cannot."
msgstr ""

#: ../../home/kovid/work/calibre/manual/faq.rst:64
msgid ""
"When converting to MOBI, calibre detects the *metadata ToC* in the input "
"document and generates an end-of-file ToC in the output MOBI file. You can "
"turn this off by an option in the MOBI Output settings. You can also tell "
"calibre whether to put it and the start or the end of the book via an option"
" in the MOBI Output settings. Remember this ToC is semantically a *metadata "
"ToC*, in any format other than MOBI it *cannot not be part of the text*. The"
" fact that it is part of the text in MOBI is an accident caused by the "
"limitations of MOBI. If you want a ToC at a particular location in your "
"document text, create one by hand. So we strongly recommend that you leave "
"the default as it is, i.e. with the metadata ToC at the end of the book. "
"Also note that if you disable the generation of the end-of-file ToC the "
"resulting MOBI file may not function correctly on a Kindle, since the "
"Kindle's use the metadata ToC for many things, including the Page Flip "
"feature."

"If you have a hand edited ToC in the input document, you can use the ToC "

"Finally, I encourage you to ditch the content ToC and only have a metadata "
"ToC in your e-books. Metadata ToCs will give the people reading your e-books"
" a much superior navigation experience (except on the Kindle, where they are"
" essentially the same as a content ToC)."

"The newer AZW3 format has proper support for a metadata ToC. However, the "
"Kindle firmware tends to malfunction if you disable the generation of the "

"The bug in Amazon's software is that when you put a MOBI file on a Kindle, "

"The whole point of calibre's library management features is that they "
"provide a search and sort based interface for locating books that is *much* "
"more efficient than any possible directory scheme you could come up with for"
" your collection. Indeed, once you become comfortable using calibre's "
"interface to find, sort and browse your collection, you wont ever feel the "
"need to hunt through the files on your disk to find a book again. By "
"managing books in its own directory structure of Author -> Title -> Book "
"files, calibre is able to achieve a high level of reliability and "
"standardization. To illustrate why a search/tagging based interface is "
"superior to folders, consider the following. Suppose your book collection is"
" nicely sorted into folders with the following scheme::"
