If I may jump in, I think that Ventura's indexing facility is good, but its
toc facility isn't. In general, multichapter publications aren't handled as
well as they might be. Ventura doesn't automatically handle page numbers from
chapter to chapter — you've got to note where one chapter ends, and manually
set the first page number of the next chapter. Same is true for chapter
numbers. Ventura will let you specify that a chapter start on a left or right
page, but it doesn't adjust the preceding chapter by inserting a blank page
when appropriate. And Ventura doesn't correctly handle more than a single
logical chapter in a chapter file.
Looking forward to 1.2…
