So I have a book that I just finished combining from multiple epubs into a single EPUB, and it seems to work just fine, but I have this weird issue, where if I open the book The nav.xhtml file shows my new changes, whereas the sidebar, which I don't mind having once in a while, doesn't show any of my new chapters. I have figured out the problem is, I have both a "nav.xhtml" AND a "ToC.ncx" file, but that the "toc.ncx" file is what, at least in my case, what populates the bookmark sidebar... The question is, do I have to manually enter everything that's already in the "nav.xhtml" file or is there some kind of automated way to copy the missing entries into the "toc.ncx" file in the editor, and do we even need the toc file to use the bookmark sidebar in most viewers? Would it just take the inline toc from nav.xhtml and use that for the bookmark/jump list sidebar with the toc.ncx file removed??
