Sigil Toc editor
I have a problem with TOC in Sigil
How can I add a TOC to an existing epub file?? I read about the TOC editor, and how to use it, but I can't find anywhere how to include the generated TOC in the epub file. Regards |

(if you use one of those tags just to style the text, un-tic the box next to that line in the TOC editor and Sigil will code it not to be used. Note: any changes you make in the TOC editor text, will appear in your document. |

It just does that... I was expecting a "table of contents" after the titlepage with hyperlinks... and could not find that. Kind regards! |

which is not needed on many ePub readers that have a separate pane or button to call up the "Catalog/TOC" ADE,EPUBReader all use the TOC generated by Sigil |

But as far as I know, Kindle does not use the inline toc and it is recommended that you draw up an actual contents "page." So you might want to consider doing that if you plan to submit to the Kindle store.

Does anybody know how to hide the TOC from appearing on the first few pages of epub file? I tried to convert a Word Doc that contains a TOC to an ePUB file and the TOC text appear on the first few pages in eReader. Is there a way we can hide it so that TOC only appear in the eReader menu?

The inline TOC is not needed in a EPUB compliant reader (Sigil's TOC generates that one), There are some lame readers out there that the inline is the only way. |

Grab the TOC (line) item in the book browser and move it to the bottom of the SAME (text) section . Save, it is now at the end of the book Sigil adjusts the order in the underlying (NCX) control file for that book. You can also rename those line items to be more meaningful (to you). Sigil will adjust all the references so nothing breaks I believe, the one exception to the fix rule, is when you "Delete an image or section". Sigil has no clue what should happen and you just created an orphan |

While the Kindle store does not support ePUB, they do accept ePUB files, which they convert themselves (at least they do for the large distributor who handles our books, I don't know if this is true for all types of accounts with them) to Kindle-compliant files. It is also quite easy to convert the an ePUB to a Kindle file yourself, using Amazon's KindleGen tool—as long as you keep in mind their particular requirements.
I misspoke earlier when I said that Kindle required an inline TOC. I was getting my terms confused! They require an actual page of TOC, as you would see in a book similar to what the earlier poster wanted to see. |

So is it really just as easy as wrapping your titles with <h2> tags? And everything else is done for you?
