Move to an InDesign page and click on the tool to choose from a list of relevant EPUB3 section markers.
Labels are listed in typical frontmatter, bodymatter and endmatter sections. Select one and click Add Section Marker button to add to the active InDesign page.
A text frame is added to the top of the page to show
If labels are added to pages that already have a section label they will replace an existing label.
The background colour of a label is an InDesign swatch that denotes whether it is frontmatter, bodymatter or endmatter. This is used for landmarks in CircularFLO exported EPUBs. The swatch can be altered in InDesign if needed. e.g. your acknowledgements section appears in the endmatter rather than the frontmatter.
Section labels are automatically added to multiple pages by detecting page contents and the names of applied styles.
For example a chapter section label is added to a page that has an applied paragraph style whose name starts with the word ‘chapter’ or whose first word on the page is ‘chapter’.
Using the Add section label to active page and Auto add section labels to pages tools in the Circular Software Accessibility Tools Panel, labels are added to the top of the InDesign page. On exporting to EPUB these labels are used to define structure and help with navigation.
The background colour of a label denotes whether it is frontmatter, bodymatter or endmatter and used to structure and make landmarks in CircularFLO exported EPUBs.
Section markers can also be used to auto generate contents for the CircularFLO Table of Contents panel with the Add Section markers to TOC tool in the CircularFLO Document Tools.
CircularFLO will also automatically add page markers in the page content and write a page list into the exported EPUB.
The no-code approach used by Circular Software means that the challenge of adding.
The exported code of the EPUB from Circular Software contains the correct method to make the page breaks accessible to reading systems.
The image below shows a reflowable EPUB with page makers added visually to show the page breaks.
