Sorry, putting visualized things into words is hard.
What I want to do in the end, generate a (NCX) TOC That Links to the split apart HTML TOC
If you have a Monster sized
HTML TOC, just use Sigls Split tool to break it apart.
Code:
Front matter ...
--- <<split MARKER points. don't split yet
Part 1 <change these section titles to <h1, They will be for your new Mini-sized TOC
---
Part 2
---
Part 3
---
...
Now Generate a New NCX. from H1 ONLY. This is where I find Calibres TOC tool is better. Sigil marks things to not include, thus making this cycle harder if it needs to be redone.
What you mini TOC (NCX) does is ONLY point to the Part #
Part 1
part 1 TOC
<< these will be the parts split from the original HTML TOC (just drag the files into the proper place in the file list
Part 2
part 2 TOC
and so on
The readers TOC allows the user to jump to a Part, Then the user has to follow the link to the sub sections (not as elegant as an auto collapsed would have been)
