I'm creating an epub with v 1.76 of the stylesheets and have included a 
cover image and titlepage. Both the cover image and all titlepage elements 
are specified within d:book/info. What I want in an epub is for the side 
navigation panel (toc.ncx) and the bottom nav buttons to navigate from cover 
image > titlepage > preface; so I need a toc link that says "cover" which 
will link to the cover image.

What I get instead in the toc is the title of the book as the first link, 
then preface below that. When I view the epub in Firefox, it opens at the 
cover image; then when I use the nav button at the bottom it goes straight 
to preface. Oddly, when I then click the back button from preface it goes to 
the cover image; it is not navigating to the titlepage.

So, using the side toc, the navigation links go from titlepage > preface 
(with no link to the cover image). Using the nav buttons, the nav goes from 
cover image > preface (with no link to the titlepage).

How can I:
1. include the cover image (which is cover.html) at the start of the toc
2. make the nav buttons work: cover > title page > preface (and back again 
in that order)

I note that the titlepage is given the filename index.html - is this what's 
causing problems with nav? (ie is there confusion between "index.html" and a 
back-of-book index?
Thanks,

Dave Gardiner
