I think my request is fairly simple, but I'm oblivious to xpath so I don't know what to do.

I'm using Calibre 0.8.23 to convert a cookbook I've compiled over the years in word form. I'm trying to create the table of contents and it wants the xPath expression of each of 3 levels. I have no idea what to put in there. I do know that in the table of contents I want 2 levels. I have each section of the cookbook (meats, poultry, etc) labeled as chapters (Chapter 1: Meats) (Chapter 2: Poultry). Then the name of each recipe is at the top of the following pages in bold. I would like the table of contents to read:

Chapter 1: Meats
Hamburgers
Tacos

Chapter 2: Poultry
Fried Chicken
Chicken Marsala

I'm also having problems with the page breaks. I put a page break after each recipe so they would be on their own page just like a real cookbook. I converted the .doc file to PDF format, but when it converts to ePub, it removes the breaks.

Can anyone tell me how to construct the table of contents and keep the breaks?
