But I read this on the wiki - https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...F7_differences

"KF8 books can be built using the ePub NCX to generate a TOC the KF7 version requires a TOC.html file be present in the document or no TOC will be present in the eBook."

So now I am confused.
If what the wiki says is true, only the KF8 format will have the TOC, not the older mobi/prc format? (Both types will be present in my kindlegen outputted .mobi)

thanks
The NCX TOC will work on KF8 as a TOC but will not produce an inline (.html) TOC. An inline TOC is required for KF7 and will be displayed if you choose TOC and also in its place in the document. If you build an inline TOC and just include it then it will be displayed in both books.
