@AlanHK...

"The error is not that it doesn't combine h1+h2+h3 but that it combines h1+h2 and DELETES h3. That is damaging the book. If you add more than two levels of headings, you can't use this plugin."
I'll have another look at that problem.

"<text><i>TIME AND THE GODS</i></text>
If I edit the NCX to make it <text><i>TIME AND THE GODS</i></text>
and then do "Create HTML TOC", the tags were not there. And epubcheck says: ERROR(RSC-005): Error while parsing file 'element "i" not allowed anywhere; expected the element end-tag or text'. "
Why on earth would you ever expect Sigil's "Create HTML TOC" feature to allow you to format the text within the NCX TOC in the editor or directly within the toc.ncx file itself? Heck, the Create HTML TOC editor is a pure text editor for goodness sake -- it's not an html editor that will allow you to embed html code tags. Also, the toc.ncx file isn't an html file -- it's an XML file. You could perhaps add indents and alter the chapter headings to upper/lower/title case within the Create HTML TOC editor or within the toc.ncx file but that's about all you can do.
