Thanks to everyone for the details of the href/#anchor (and re-assurances).

The (single) end-of-book ToC was rather complex and dense with code (I did not try the beautifier). Replacing it is certainly a thought. If I recall correctly when briefly toying with with Calibre's ToC generation, the result was a sparse, clean HTML page using li tags or maybe li class=.

Must confess my ignorance to the community. I had no idea e-books were commonly HTML-based. Just never thought about what was under the hood. Also have to admit the last time I made a web-page it was by hand and pre-CSS...

I think I'm going to try to find the time to get to know Calibre better. (Hope this forum wouldn't mind another question or two in future.)
