I think someone wrote how this works, and I even managed to do it myself, but I can't remember how, so ...

I downloaded an ebook in epub format. However, I noticed that there are many errors in the ebook. Also, there is no TOC. So I want to correct all this stuff. I know, an epub is just a zip file with a html file inside. But here is the problem: Like in most epubs, the html file is split into multiple small html files.

I once read something like: Calibre can join this small html files into one big html file. When you convert, there is this option about splitting files if they are larger then 260kb. Change this to something like 99999kb. Then you would end up with an epub that has only 1 big html file, which could be easily edited.
I tried to convert from epub, to epub, using this setting, but I am doing something wrong, because, there are still multiple html files after I exported the new ebook.

Can anyone help me (if anyone can understand what I try to do)? Thanks in advance.
