Previously, if a book had no text content in a section, then no location would be generated. In the pathological case of a book with no text content at all (pictures only), no locations are generated for the entire book. An example of this is the Open Circuits EPUB from No Starch Press (2023). By moving the "empty node" detection after the creation of the initial opening range, the parsing code ensures that a minimum of one location is generated per section.

Hello! I was wondering if this might be able to be reviewed so I can nudge the maintainer of calibre-web to update their vendored version of epub.js. Thank you! |

Image-only or whitespace-only sections previously produced zero locations, skewing Locations.total and every progress percentage after them. Create the opening range before skipping empty nodes so the trailing range still emits one location. Ports futurepress/epub.js#1407, minus its `range === undefined` guard: that guard suppresses per-node re-anchoring, making a section's trailing location span back from the previous node as a cross-node range. Keeping `counter === 0` preserves correct anchoring; covered by a new regression test.
