Yeah, manually changing 108 headings is definitely something I would want to avoid too...

You might be able to do this with the Calibre TOC autocreate system using a nice XPATH expression, but again, that is easier if you have a book with 'Chapter X' style so you can tell it to look for the word "chapter" within a certain tag. The way you described your book made me think this any XPATH you used would yield lots of junk entries.

On the other hand, it could take less time to take this route with the large number of chapters you have, and then just delete the junk entries with Sigil, rather then what I suggested before.

Can you post the epub here without violating copyright so I can take a look at the HTML structure?
