EDIT: Hahaha never mind. I was on current file only. Sorry. I think I've got it. I'll post back in the morning to tell you if it worked.

Hi. So I went through and did what you suggested. It worked perfectly except for one thing. Your modifications were for the metadata TOC. I am actually trying to modify the in-book TOC, as mobi files cannot read metadata TOC's, and I use a Kindle. Therefore, the problem is with the links in-book. Is there any way, using Sigil, to change where a link points, so that I could manually go through these links and change each one to point to the correct place? I know that Calibre can add a TOC at the end of the book, but that would not get rid of the incorrect TOC. Anyway, does this question make sense? Thanks for the ongoing assistance.

No, other than by hand .

Remove the bad one (unless there is really special styling you want to preserve and use Calibre to make your Mobi. AFAIK, it will use the EPUB TOC to build a new inline TOC

I was hoping there was a way to keep the TOC where it is in the file at the moment. As of now, Calibre puts the new TOC at the end of the file. Could I remove the current inline one, then do what you told me to to make a new metadata one, convert in Calibre to add the new one at the end, and then cut/paste to put it back where it was initially? I'm not sure if there would be some CSS/HTML problem with doing this.

And if not, how do I go about changing where links point in Sigil? I can't even find a way to create a link, much less choose where it points. I'm sure that there has to be some easy way to do this from book view, but I can't find it. I have looked through the Sigil manual.

if the inline TOC exists as a separate .xhtml file (say, TOC.xhtml), and all you want to do is change the position of the TOC in the book (say, from the end to just after the copyright page) in Sigil all you have to do is drag the TOC file (in book view) to the position you want it to be.

This feature may be munged up in version 0.4.0-RC1, however. And it won't work for any version if you're running under linux with the KDE desktop environment. (Not without some hacking of the sigil.sh startup file, anyway.)

i've done that successfully in version 0.4.0-rc1.
