Multiple HTML Files

Regarding this information in the Calibre User Manual
--
In order to convert a collection of HTML files in a specific oder, you have to create a table of contents file. That is, another HTML file that contains links to all the other files in the desired order. Such a file looks like:

<html>
<body>
<h1>Table of Contents</h1>
<p style="text-indent:0pt">
<a href="file1.html">First File</a><br/>
<a href="file2.html">Second File</a><br/>
.
.
.
</p>
</body>
</html>
--
do the Second, Third, etc. files need to include HTML header information or should they be treated as if the one original file was sliced at, let's say, the end of each chapter. In other words, if the one original file only contained one <body> and one <html> statement, should the Second, Third, etc. files contain <body> and <html> statements or not?

they should contain <html> and <body>. But if you have one html file to start with, why are you splitting it up into multiple files?

I guess this shows my ignorance of exactly how Calibre operates. If I have one HTML file, I do not need to split it -- correct?

Correct. Calibre will do the splitting.
