<h2>Split the source text at logical divisions</h2>
<p>The file we downloaded contains the entire work. <i>Jekyll</i> is a short work, but for longer work it quickly becomes impractical to have the entire text in one file. Not only is it a pain to edit, but ereaders often have trouble with extremely large files.</p>
<p>The next step is to split the file at logical places; that usually means at each chapter break. For works that are contain their chapters in larger “parts,” the part division should also be its own file. For example, see <i><a href="/ebooks/robert-louis-stevenson/treasure-island/milo-winter">Treasure Island</a></i>.</p>
<p>The next step is to split the file at logical places; that usually means at each chapter break. For works that are contain their chapters in larger “parts,” the part division should also be its own file. For example, see <i><a href="/ebooks/robert-louis-stevenson/treasure-island">Treasure Island</a></i>.</p>
<p>To split the work, we use <code class="program">se split-file</code>. <code class="program">se split-file</code> takes a single file and breaks it in to a new file every time it encounters the markup <code class="html">&lt;!--se:split--&gt;</code>. <code class="program">se split-file</code> automatically includes basic header and footer markup in each split file.</p>
<p>Notice that in our source file, each chapter is marked with an <code class="html">h2</code> tag. We can use that to our advantage and save ourselves the trouble of adding the <code class="html">&lt;!--se:split--&gt;</code> markup by hand:</p><code class="terminal"><span>perl -pi -e "s/&lt;h2/&lt;\!--se:split--&gt;&lt;h2/g" src/epub/text/body.xhtml</span></code>
<p>(Note the slash before the ! for compatibility with some shells.)</p>
