RE: Creating Multiple TOCs in One Book
Yes, tried it a couple of different ways and no success. As an alternative, I have proposed a script solution where you have a single book with the TOCs for each language in their desired positions in the main book. (This is how their book is set up currently anyway.) After you update the book, all of the TOCs have the same content, but then a script goes through each TOC and deletes all the content except for entries to files immediately following the TOC, up to the next TOC in the book. The script can be automatically invoked by the update process so it should be pretty seamless.
