Apparently you have really misunderstood what I have been saying. I cannot just "easily and quickly" use the existing TOC, it is laborious and requires a lot of manual intervention. The point of the plugin is to simplify and automate that for use on many different files where "just generate the NCX" is not relevant; that's the entire point.

The problem for me is that when I played with similar issues a few years back, I ended up spending more time on trying to have my code handle special cases and not convert my ebook to egarbage than it would have taken me to do a regex to generate/modify the headers and then copy/paste. Entries that did not have header tags (<p> or <div> are more fun), h? tags wrapped around images, multiple h? tags in the same file (e.g. for the chapter title and subtitle), multiple chapters in the same file mixed with chapters split across multiple files (thank you, Gutenberg!), headers with multiple <a>, <span> and <br /> tags between the h? tags.
It was not a simple project and I was never happy with the results but it taught me quite a bit about Python and making sure I had backup copies.
