NOTE: I accidentally posted this on an unrelated thread yesterday. Apologies.
After studying this thread, I've come up with a macro that extracts the headings from my toc.ncx file, and repackages them as links with my heading text as the linked text. Then I paste that list of links in my main text file, as a linked Table of Contents. Will this pass muster with Amazon, ya think? |

If all of the TOC links are working and you didn't forget to add a TOC guide item (Add Semantics > Table of Contents) to the .opf file you shouldn't have any problems with Amazon as long as your book passes epubcheck and you use KindleGen to compile it.

If you are preparing your book in Word, I strongly recommend to any non-html user or html newbie that is confused about how to create an inline TOC to get the free Kindle book by Mark Coker of Smashwords, http://www.amazon.com/Smashwords-Sty.../dp/B004XWJ7UK . Specifically, use the tutorial in "STEP 20b" to create an inline linked TOC in MSWORD before importing to Sigil; it is both easy to understand and essentially bulletproof. |

Code:
<item href="toc.ncx" id="ncx" media-type="application/x-dtbncx+xml" /> Code:
<spine toc="ncx"> My client wants the TOC to appear in pieces within the document. It's a recipe book, so she doesn't want the 80 recipes taking up so much space at the top of the document. Can I toggle off the "usual" TOC that way, so that my custom links (described above) will be the only TOC-like feature that would appear in the book?

In an ePub eBook, the ToC is the NCX file and is outside of the eBook with a link to display it. An NCX ToC supports levels so you can have like desserts and then under that, all the dessert recipes. With a Mobipocket eBook, the ToC is a page or pages of links inside the eBook. No levels. So you will be needing at least three screen's worth of ToC entries for a cookbook with 80 recipes. |
