Okay, just messed around with xpath for a while. If I set attribute to "id" and value to "title" then Calibre creates the proper page breaks for each chapter. Problem is there's still no back-linking so I'm guessing BookDesigner simply does not output them when saving to HTML.

I also noticed that the only way to make the TOC show up on a new page, instead of being displayed on the same page as I have the book title and author, is to go into Word and create a section break before it.

EDIT: Ah, no wonder. The reason why back-links aren't being saved is because I always used BookDesigners "insert TOC" option, which works fine for LRFs. I think the only way for back-links to be saved for other formats is to manually create "Notes and Links", which would be essentially the same as doing hyperlinks in Word. Not fun since I have some books with well over 100 chapters. Ugh, what a pain this is. Why can't other formats be as easy to create as LRFs?
