ToC, sub-chapters, kindles

[Keybounce]

I have a story that I want to get sub-chapters into the table of contents for kindles.

Basically, the goal:
1. Get tick-marks on the progress bar
2. Get chapter forward/back to work
3. Detect subchapter markers in the text.

There is an existing table of contents in the file. That has the main chapters. The sub-chapters are marked in the text by the lines

<div class="bbcode-center"><p>~~~</p>
</div>

The source for this is "Song of the Spheres", on fimfiction: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/382...of-the-spheres

For this particular story, each 13 chapter arc (except the first one) has a long story-length chapter.

See https://www.fimfiction.net/story/382...-and-rarispies and https://www.fimfiction.net/story/382...-the-comedians for examples.

I understand that Calibre has the ability to make second level ToC entries.

Using the wizard, I came up with this:

//h:div[re:test(@class, "bbcode-center", "i")]

But ... well, I used the ToC editor, and placed that in the second level field. Going through all 13 chapters from 14 to 26, it found only 1, stuck it as a top level header, and it wasn't even in the right place.

So, help?

Downloaded from Fimfiction with the FanFicFare plugin.
Split into (manageable) sub-books with EPubSplit.

(Side question: Where can I find an "edit post" or "add attachment" after hitting submit post?)

There should be an Edit button in the lower right corner. It may be hidden as you are a new user and your posts are being auto-moderated (I have been releasing them). Attachments are added while in edit mode (I use the Advanced edit, there is a paperclip icon for managing attachments).

I use H# type gen for levels, so I am no help here.
IIRC your template needs to contain detection for All of the levels (for a total Regen of a TOC), to know where to place them in the list.
