And how are you setting it in the OPF?
I can't believe how many times I have to explain this.

Okay, my file is called "frontmatter.xhtml"

It contains the following items (in this order)...

- Title Page & Illustration
- Table of Contents
- List of Illustrations

...all in that one file (called "frontmatter.xhtml", NOT "toc.html -- this is epub2, not epub3, and it is NOT my intention to use my inline ToC for the external ToC).

Each of those items (except for the illustration) has an <h1> heading which should be listed in the external ToC.

In ADE it works fine, and in the external ToC it shows...

- Title Page & Illustration
- Table of Contents
- List of Illustrations

...but in iBooks all it shows is...

- Title Page & Illustration
- List of Illustrations

Please, God, tell me that that's finally clear what the problem is.
