And again, the toc.ncx is not a one size fits all solution.. It is specific to the epub in which it is embedded. As I said, unless you can guarantee that all the filenames and the number of files in the epub are identical, your toc.ncx is useless. For example, the code below is the toc.ncx file file from an edition of "The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World", a collection of Harlan Ellison stores. A valid toc.ncx for this epub and this one only. If nothing else, are you planning on generating a collection of epubs with the same identifiers?
