Too many table of contents

Hortensia · 10-31-2021, 01:47 PM

I am creating an ebook from a HTML file:

Code:

<html>
	<body>
		<h1>Table of Contents</h1>
		<p style="text-indent:0pt">
			<a href="Chapters_files_html\Chapter_001.html">1 - My first chapter</a><br/>
			<a href="Chapters_files_html\Chapter_002.html">2 - My second chapter</a><br/>
		</p>
	</body>
</html>

and using calibre ebook converter in a batch script to generate an epub

Code:

ebook-convert book.html %booktitle%.epub

The resulting epub contains all the files it should and a single TOC nicely formated but at the beginning of the epub.

When adding a book to calibre, my settings automatically convert it to azw3 and this generate a second TOC at the end of my ebook (which I need for ebook which do not have a TOC).

How can I have a single TOC at the end of the book in both format?

Thanks, I had read this section but not understood that I should apply it as well since I don't have mobi files. removing my own TOC works.
