The code came from Word-perfect originally and looked somewhat like this:
---------------------------
<p align="center"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span><span
style="font-size: 11pt;"></span><span
style="font-size: 10pt;"></span><span
style="font-size: 15pt;"></span><span
style="font-family: Goudy Old Style;"><strong></strong></span><span
style="font-family: Goudy Old Style;">-2-</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Goudy Old Style;"></span><span
style="font-size: 10pt;"></span><span
style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Endangering the King</strong></span></p>
<br wp="BR1">
<br wp="BR2">
--------------------------------------

Then it went into Tidy, which removed the awful redundancies. Then I moved it into Calibre which gave the code I posted.

Anyway, thanks for the response. Unfortunately it doesn't help. I cannot use <h1> headers on things like a title page, copyright page, acknowledgements page, and so forth--it would make the book look like an amateur did it instead of coming from a professional publications house. (Yeah, having the words "Title Page" above the title of the book would really look stupid, at least with Dedications and Acknowledgements I might be able to get away using one of the other header tags).

And while your code looks nice, considering where I am coming from I don't want to become a professional coder for epub files anymore than you would want to become a professional graphics person just to combine a simple picture with text. The procedures I am using deliver clean enough code to do the job, I was just hoping it was something I was missing that wouldn't let me put those Add Semantic things into the TOC.

It should be something they should add as an option in the drop-down box in the Generate Window: Include Semantics in TOC.

Until then this is just one more limitation preventing eBooks from replacing real books.

Again, thanks for your help.
