I hand code all of my HTML and CSS files because I don't like all the bullshit the "layout" tools insert and they don't use returns or indentation in the files. It makes them a bitch to hand edit. I can toss together a Notepad web site in a fraction of the time. The eBook format changes a lot. Don't bother with a TOC with links. Doesn't work (as far as I've been able to tell). It isn't up to speed for referenced material yet.
