If I have a book of multiple parts and chapters within the parts, book styling comes into play.
According to the purist, if I style the part headers as <h2>PART</h2>, then I must style chapters as <h3>CHAPTER</h3> to show structure, and then the structure of the book is not seen until the little arrow next to the PART is clicked by the reader and the chapter headers are too small. Otherwise, I can style everything as <h2>...</h2> and then get a straight list with no structure and looks lousy.
By simply putting in four (4) spaces (spspspspCHAPTER) the toc is shown with structure and (at least to me) looks much better.
Take a look at the toc in the attched ePub.
I don't see the great HOORAH.
When I build an inline toc, I am very concerned about structure. I have the same concerns in an ePub toc. The next thing I have to figure out is putting in blank line between sections.
To me, the ideal solution is to be able to edit the structure in the Sigil toc window marking up the structure and content as desired. Otherwise, why would anyone want to edit toc.ncx?
