Calibre TOC
I'm pretty much a newby with Calibre, and I've had mixed results getting a table of contents out of it. Sometimes I can get one and sometimes I can't. With a current document I can tell it to force a TOC, but nothing happens.

(Trying in mobi output.)

Can anyone make a wild guess why this is happening?

I did one starting with a PDF last night that made a TOC. This morning I'm trying a different one but get no TOC.

If there are too many chapters does Calibre just do nothing at all?

You will get a better answer in the Calibre forum but in order to get a working TOC you have to match the XPath correctly on your ebook. I suggest heading over there and reading up on the threads to get a better idea.

As Blossom said, this is really a calibre issue and not a MOBI/Kindle issue.

Basically, the issue is that the original file has to contain something that calibre recognizes at a "breakpoint" to use as a TOC anchor. Calibre is pre-programed with a reliable list of entities to detect, but they don't work with all files. The "Structure Detection" tab in the Convert dialog is where you can make customizations.
