Can anybody tell me why some of the HTML tags are being corrupted? Also, why is the text:

"<i>

being inserted before the text of the anchor name attribute?
Quite obviously, the underscore preceding the "Toc" is giving calibre grief. Calibre seems to be incorrectly interpreting it as the antique (still frequently seen) use of underscores wrapping a portion of text to indicate italics. Calibre is replacing the underscore with the <i> tag. Later processing is then converting the < to &lt and > to &gt.

One fix is to sweep the document with S&R to remove the underscore (e.g. replace "_Toc" with "Toc") before conversion.
