Never even thought about them before, so I'm only vaguely aware that Groups are available at book level. Can I pull a selection of files into a group and then generate a ToC just for the group? or is there some other mechanism better suited for this task?

You can also have multiple .book files that pick and choose which shared content.fm files they want, each .book with its own generated TOC.fm, IX.fm, etc.

All useful background info, so thanks. Luckily, the ptoc was only a nice-to-have at this stage :-}

@Neils - what's a "pTOC"? - I'm not familiar with the term at all...

Niels,

The grouping and section functions were meant more for structured authoring. IIRC, you're still limited to a single autogenerated TOC in a Book. However, you can always create a Book of Books where each one has it's own TOC. The only drawback is that updating the Master book, doesn't automatically update the TOCs in the child books, you need to update all child books first.

Some background info on Hierarchical books are:
