I seem to have understood that there are 2 types of TOCs - I'm not sure which one(s) you guys are talking about since I can't remember which is called what yet.

I suppose that what I was trying to do is "convert" the in-document TOC (made with anchors & links) into a NCX/OPF one - i.e. one that can be accessed through the "GoTo" Kindle menu item.

I've tried every settings combinations in Calibre and I either get 2 TOCs (my original in-document TOC + the detected, "GoTo" TOC - apparently detected automatically from existing links) or just the in-document one (unaccessible through "GoTo").

Various forum searches indicate that I could tweak the OPF file manually but yeah, I'll just stick to the TOC detection in Calibre since it's already pretty powerful.

Although I suppose that could be a nice function to have in a future version of Calibre: the possibility to have the TOC items generated from either the text between the selected tags or an "alternate" text defined in "title=" (like Sigil does).
