But the Sigil TOC editor can only handle heading elements. That was on purpose: every editor I know uses headings to build a TOC: from Word to Writer, even LaTeX by default. It makes the TOC editor simple, and a lot of work (basically a complete redesign) would have to be done to make it possible to have any element a TOC reference in the TOC editor. And the new one would be much more complicated. And for what? Everyone other editor still uses headings to build a TOC. So if your original TOC already uses headings, the new one will be the same. If it doesn't, well then the new one will be different, but it will follow industry standards. Again, I doubt you can make a simple and intuitive TOC editor and preserve the full expressiveness of the NCX. Sigil will use the current approach until I figure out a better way, if one exists. I'm always open for suggestions. That would be 0.1.6 when I upgraded Sigil to use the new Qt. Nokia said they would improve WebKit performance in Qt 4.6.0, but instead they introduced a regression that made page rendering substantially slower. They're still trying to pull their heads out of their asses to fix that. |

Am I correct in thinking, that every time I add a "Header", Sigil scans the entire file and re-builds the TOC?

Gotcha. I thought at first you meant it couldn't preserve the original TOC because of the way you have Sigil setup. So I thought maybe there could be like an on and off switch where the user can decide to go with the way you have it or just keep the original.

We are generating our epubs from Adobe InDesign CS4, and it seems to be creating TOCs with p tags, since InDesign doesn't actually do H1/H2 tags. Calibre handles this fine, but Sigil loses the entire TOC.
Any advice for us on how to get Sigil to read the headings? Or do we need to manually add those tags after exporting the epub? |

If that is the case, then I'm sorry, but currently Sigil cannot create a TOC from this (and the original one isn't preserved). In the future, there will be support for original NCX preservation and editing, but currently you're stuck with heading tags. |
