Thanks for your answer.

Point taken.
I did begin with Writer at first, but found out that the conversion required a lot of manual tuning, especially as I have a lot of images and screencopies to include. As it is, I can now upload the work in progress on the KDP website and check the result in Kindle mode.

I don't think that is the reason as I already have quite many HTML files. Maybe the number of titles? or images?

I also use the default TOC style-sheet. But the fonts (and some other standard styles) are defined in another stylesheet that is shared by all the HTML files of the whole document. As for now, I have to re-link this additional sheet to the TOC every time I re-generate the HTML TOC.

Could it be submitted as a feature request? Sigil already has a lot of very interesting automaticisms; this one would be a good addition, I think.
