not sure what you mean by "take the html from inside of MobiPocket". i don't know how to look into a prc file.

i added the 60 or so html files to mobi creator.

that is how i currently get a toc.

(n.b. - you could even "cheat" and just copy & paste the html toc code right out of MBP Creator or preview it and steal the source and then make a new "page" in Sigil and the links should all be right, I think...this is a bit backwards than how I work, which is ePUB first, mobi second.)
i get the impression that you know how to look inside a prc and get the html inside there and put that into sigil? if you know how to look inside a prc, please tell me.

each chapter starts with a heading 1. i have not seen any need for chapter markers (yet).
But I'm a serious NoteTab Pro Junkie, so...that might just be me, but I'm a total regex Ho.)
grep is my friend. i have a trial copy of dreamweaver that is turning out to be quite useful also.

i was using sigil to get a free ncx on the previous book (which was all one html file with 700 diagrams) the using kindlegen (i think).
this time i tried to do the same thing, but ran into issue 501.
> I'm actually interested in this. Can you keep us posted?
sure. we have split the current book into two volumnes, and are close to finishing it. the mobi stuff looks good. so i will be trying the same trick to get an ncx out of sigil and running kindlegen to put it on the kindle in the next few days.
we also want to put it on the ipad, so i am trying out calibre to get an epub, so i can run epubcjeck. i have flightcrew, but haven't tried it yet.
i did get started on a parser, but that is going to be a bit harder than i thought.
i'd love to look at the stuff inside the prc as i don't like all of the stuff that calibre does. i a hoping that calibre has some options to turn that stuff off.
thanks
thanks
