I know you can when creating it in Scrivener, but I want to know if when the ebook is generated if there is a way to generate a hierarchical output table of contents. Anyone know if that's possible? When searching for this out there in the big, dark net I could only found how to compile. :/


Anywho for clarification
Rather than the TOC looking like this
Title
Subtitle
Subtitle
Subsubtitle


I'd like it to look like this
Title
• • Subtitle
• • Subtitle
○ ○ ○ ○Subsubtitle


but indented rather than the bullets

I've made ebooks that had hierarchical TOCs, but I hand-coded the TOC file.

Why not create a dummy book (i.e. a test book; the actual contents don't matter) in Scrivener and see if you can export an epub file with the TOC you want?

I haven't succeeded yet. I suspect it's possible 'cause like you said it can be done manually. If I do find out how to do it, I'll post it here.

Ask at Literature and Latte; they're super nice.
