It's called Fiddle-and-Fix-It. This is a cookbook. Cookbooks need good indexes. Best index for an ereader is hyperlinks. Mention a recipe and Bang! hyperlink takes you right there.

Links across chapters still didn't work, but here's what I did finally get to function: The whole cookbook is in one document, but InDesign split the files according to chapters (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Side Dishes, Cookies, Dessert, Dog Treats...you get the idea). Each chapter is a Level One heading in the toc.

Back at the Fiddle-and-Fix-It level, at the beginning of each chapter I created a rubric called Recipe Finder, which I gave a Level 2 heading. Breakfast chapter begins with a very brief discussion on the first page, then on the second page we find Breakfast Recipe Finder, which lists the breakfast recipes alphabetically, with a hyperlink to each recipe within that chapter (file). The toc reads heirarchically: Breakfasts, Breakfast Recipe Finder; Lunches, Lunch Recipe Finder; and so on.

Now if I can just find how to get the toc to actually STACK level two underneath level one, I'll be going live with this. Right now, iBooks is blithely ignoring my h1, h2 commands. Anybody got any ideas?
