Thanks, I finally see what you are saying (about time he says!).
As an experiment, after yesterdays discussion, I wrote a little program to call the converter on a directory of books. After converting each the books to FB2, I got it to search through the fb2 output and insert the section/title as I had said.
You were right about the different scenarios, only about 6 out of 10 (in a sample of a hundred books) came out as I expected. Some had extra chapters/page breaks where the odd sentence got picked up as a chapter, but doesn't really mess the reading up much.
The others didn't seem to pick up the markers at all even though some had 'chapter's in them? The ones that didn’t work just remained the same as if I had left the output alone so, there doesn't seem to any detriment to what I did though. I turned the TOC off from the output as I am not really interested in the actual table at the beginning of the book which was good as well.
On the bright side, I now have 60ish books looking good without having to manually modify them with book designer etc and an automated way of converting the bulk of my books to this format.
