Manual ToC makes duplicate chapters?
Hi all,
For a eBook project I am creating, in addition to the toc.ncx file I have a manually created Table of Contents at the beginning of my book. However, after I made the ToC, my file began displaying the last two chapters (seperate .xhtml documents) in my book twice. When I delete the ToC, this problem goes away. Is there anyway I could keep my Table of Contents and not have repeating documents in my .epub files? Thanks for any help.

You need to give some more information there. Could you post your toc?

Yep! Here is the table of contents I created for the beginning of the book.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	<head>
		<title>toc.xhtml</title>
		<link href="template.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
	</head>
<body>
<div>
<p class="chapter-chaptertitle">Table of Contents</p>
<p class="body-sectionpara"><a href="Preface.xhtml">Preface</a><br />
<a href="Prologue-v2.xhtml">Prologue</a><br />
<a href="Ch1-asym.xhtml">Chapter One: Leadership and Beliefs</a><br />
<a href="Ch2-asym.xhtml">Chapter Two: Leading Without Controlling</a><br />
<a href="Ch3-asym.xhtml">Three: From I to We</a><br />
<a href="Ch4-asym-box.xhtml">Chapter Four: Leading from a False Premise</a><br />
<a href="Ch5-asym.xhtml">Chapter Five: Surrendering to the Leader Within</a><br />
<a href="Ch6-asym-box.xhtml">Chapter Six: Leaders Choose Again</a><br />
<a href="Ch7-asym-box.xhtml">Chapter Seven: Values and Principles Show the Way</a><br />
<a href="Ch8-asym.xhtml">Chapter Eight-The Power of Purpose</a><br />
<a href="Ch9-asym.xhtml">Chapter Nine: Engaging Others</a><br />
<a href="Ch10-asym.xhtml">Chapter Ten: Change Happens</a><br />

The manual ToC looks fine. When you say "displaying the last two chapters (seperate .xhtml documents) in my book twice" do you mean the last two chapters are repeated as you page through the book? Or are they appearing twice in the generated (.ncx) ToC?

@charleski: I meant that they appeared twice as I scrolled through. Good clarification.
@Toxaris: The code isn't formatted at all, major props if you can wade through it.

Well, I can notice one thing that might be causing problems. In your manual ToC you have "furtherresources.xhtml" and "about.xhtml" whereas the ncx refers to "FurtherResources.xhtml" and "About.xhtml".

I can't believe I made such a simple, simple error. Thank you charleski. I had no idea that capitalization was so important. You saved me countless hours of pouring over code to no avail. Problem solved!

In Unix all file names are case sensitive and most eBook readers runs a form of Unix, Linux.
