fanfic_ebooksFor those that would like to convert straight from RTF to LRF here is what I found.
Starting off I make sure my RTF copy of the story has all the paragraphs indented and no extra line space between paragraphs. (Last time I tried with the extra line space back in version 4.2. Calibre did not remove the extra line space from the RTF like it will from HTML files. If it has changed please let me know.)
In your word processor program use the styles to turn your chapter headings into Heading 1 or Heading 2 (I use Heading 2) These will turn into your table of contents in LRF.
Set the font size to 12 or whichever font size you prefer.
At this point you can save and upload to Calibre.
Downsides, if you have image files within the RTF document they will not display on the LRF version.
Upsides: For stories that don't have images this is a rather quick way to create your table of contents and get your story converted into LRF.
