On the Toc [Table of Contents] that you allude to, let me offer some help, if you're not aware of it. If you already know this, I apologize in advance. Ok, the Toc:

Anything designated as "Title" has the ability to be turned into a ToC and a ToC can be quickly and automatically generated. So, if you've got a book with a 100 poems, and each poem is titled, then you can have a ToC done practically instantly.

It will even produce, as part of the ToC, a "Table of Content." [Notice that there's a bug in the program, and that you need to add an "s" to the word "Content."]

I hope this helps.

Let us know if you have some questions.

Sorry for not seeing this earlier, Don!

The problem I had was that the structure of Leaves of Grass have "Books", individual poems, and then some of the poems had numbered stanzas as well. So BD was labeling some of the stanzas as Titles, some as Subtitles, some as Paragraphs. Then some of the poems were titles, some were subtitles. (And with close to 400 poems, that was something to get through.) I think all of the Books (38) were Titles. Anyway, it was a long time to get through, only to discover that BD wouldn't generate hanging indents....

Oh, and I was trying to figure out whether or not to try and incorporate every poem in the TOC, just the Books, or what. (Eventually, my in-book TOC which is not hyperlinked lists all of them. As Phil Ken Sebben might say, "Ha! Ha! Long!!!" )

Eventually Kovid was good enough to incorporate hanging indent support into HTML2LRF, and now it's available. (Also, this was my first experience with HTML2LRF - it took me a little while to figure it out, even though it's very nice and easy to work with.)

OK, off to see what the next book request to fulfill is.
