How to NOT have a TOC in the conversion
I have a DOCX document that does NOT have chapter headings. There should be no TOC, but Calibre is seeing the footnotes and creating a false TOC with them. I need to not have that happen.
I have tried to fix it within the Preferences/Conversion/Common Options/TOC but nothing I try in that makes any difference. |

If the footnote styling in the DOCX is a match to what's you have in Preferences->Conversion->Common options->Structure Detection->Detect chapters at (XPath expression) that could trigger a ToC entry

Fascinating but what part of this does the / come in? Or do I erase all of it and substitute the /
//*[((name()='h1' or name()='h2') and re:test(., '\s*((chapter|book|section|part)\s+)|((prolog|prol ogue|epilogue)(\s+|$))', 'i')) or @class = 'chapter'] Well, anyway I tried removing all and replacing with "/" and it didn't remove the TOC. Last edited by VeryWellAged; Yesterday at 03:29 AM. |

I gave up trying to fix this. Instead I put a hidden header of single "." in the original document and it now creates a essentially empty ToC. I hate hacking a document to deal with converter, but at least it works.
There are times code can be "smarter" by half and can cause problems. There needs to be a simple check box that says: "Do NOT create a ToC." |

If you are reconverting a document and have made changes in how you want it converted, did you remove the saved conversion settings? This can be done from the Edit metadata in bulk and checking the Remove stored conversion settings for the selected books.

![]() Pretty sure setting the Chapter detection Xpath to '/' and ToC Number of links to '0' used to work… like a decade ago. But it doesn't seem to now. IIRC an NCX is mandatory in EPUB 2 so that might be why. But that doesn't explain why was your footnotes were ending up as ToC entries. Kovid would probably need access to your DOCX to answer that, see ==>> https://calibre-ebook.com/bugs BR |
