Multi-Level TOC
I have most of my books in Filtered HTML. They have embedded TOCs structured as:
Heading 1a
Heading 2a
Heading 1b
Heading 2b

The TOCs in the html docs look proper but when Calibre converts to epub I end up with something like this:
Heading 1a
Heading 1b
Heading 1c
Heading 2a
Heading 2b
etc.

How do I get my epub toc to follow the proper level format of the source?

Edit: I guess indenting doesn't save in these messages so let me clarify. I want:
level 1
level 2
level 2
Level 1
level 2

The simplest way is to open your file in Sigil after you've used Calibre to resave it. Sigil will automatically replace the TOC with it's own just by doing this, and Sigil follows the behavior you're asking for, assuming you're using h1/h2 tags for these levels.

I was hoping it would honor the embedded TOC's structure.

An embedded toc is not a metadata toc. You need touse the level TOC Xpath expressions to tell calibre how to interpret an embedded TOC
