Yeah, that's also why I was downplaying wanting to go from their NCX backwards into the HTML itself.

For the most part, the NCX is messed up and I actually want to overwrite with my clean, beautiful code!

Another case which might also be helpful is:

Original TOC:

Code:
“Article Title” by Author Last
Original HTML:

Code:
<h2>Article Title</h2>
<p class="author">Author Last</p>
"Proper" Sigil HTML:

Code:
<h2 title="“Article Title” by Author Last">Article Title</h2>
<p class="author">Author Last</p>
99% of the time you want to go HTML->NCX (thus the Sigil Generate TOC), but 1% of the time, you might want to go backwards.

Oh, I have it all written down... I have it all...

And French with their "XIVth Century" stuff, or their little superscript e.

Side Note: One of my favorite games, Europa Universalis IV, takes place during the ~1450s-1850s, and has fans from around the world who are super into history. When discussing history on forums, since most are ESL (English as Second Language), they bring in all these quirky language styles from around the world.
