Hi all
I guess the answers to my initial question are a lot more complicated than the question itself
I don't understand half of what you guys are talking about, but I find it interesting none the less.

Fun fact: Calibre deviates from the NCX specification in a way that the EpubChecker tool won't catch. Specifically, it assigns a dtb:depth value that is one level too high, because Kovid apparently misread that part of the spec. I know it's been called to his attention at least once, but he took the same sort of "meh, works okay, doesn't matter, won't fix it" approach described earlier in this thread. So, if you care about getting it right, don't forget to tweak that value...

Mind to elaborate on that? Where is this dtb:depth value set, and how do I tweak it so that epub check catches the deviations?
By the way, I use calibre to make an attempt at creating an epub novel out of a msword document. I use the calibre conversion, cause it already does some of the work for me (You can also directly import in the editor, but for some reason I always get error messages when I try to do it that way).
But I don't keep any of Calibre's CSS, I erase it and replace it with my own. I clean up the html, trying to keep the style as simple as possible. I also us Calibre to generate a TOC.
Using it like this, I believe Calibre can be a valid tool, same as Sigil, no?
