The Project is Generated and Opens

When the project is open, click the "+" mark in the tree view control on the left side of the main screen, to ensure that all of the headings that are in the table of contents are present in the NCC.

The new project

All headings that are in the original source and that are properly marked up will be present in the NCC. If a heading is missing or incorrect, it will be necessary to modify the original XHTML file. If this occurs close Sigtuna DAR 3 and delete the project folder which you had created for this project. After the heading that was missing has been added or the incorrect heading has been changed in the original XHTML file, return to section "6-2-1 Creating a Full Text Project" and repeat the steps to create another project. Note that as you have already made the MDF file for this project, it will display in the list of current MDF files on the right when you get to the "Create a new Daisy 2.0 Project" dialog box. Add the corrected XHTML source file and select the MDF that you created and "Finish" project generation.

You may find it difficult to master this part of DAISY book production with Sigtuna DAR 3, in part because it is done only once for each project that is to be produced. In order to become comfortable with the process you can use the same source to create a project many, many times, and continue to practice until you have a thorough understanding of the steps. You will need delete the project folder for each new project you create or create a new folder with a different name for each.

hint

When an error message is shown while generating a project, it means that there is something wrong in the source documents. If this happens, please check the XHTML file or NCC.html file in the project directory in Windows Explorer. Locate the position where the project generation process stops. When you find the same place in the source document, you should be able to find errors. When the error has been corrected, try creating the project again. An error message will also be shown when the XHTML file is linked to a CSS or to images that are in a different folder other than the source folder and Sigtuna DAR 3 is not able to copy those files to the project directory. If this is the case, just simply copy those necessary files to the project directory.

hint

Before recording, it is a good idea to go through all of the text events. Even if there is no error message shown, there could be something wrong in the source documents and all the events may not be synchronization points. When you look at the source document, you should be able to find errors such as missing or incomplete elements (for example a element that is not properly closed - "\" is missing, or a missing angle bracket at the beginning or end of a element. When the error has been corrected, try creating the project again.
