I am sure it's asked and answered many times and it must be in the user guide or something, but forgive me I am attentional dyslexia, so can someone help give me a very quick answer as to how to add linkable chapters and notes in Calibre?

I am converting a txt file to epub: there are chapters in the txt file but I am not sure how to compile a linkable chapter list before the main content out of a pure text based txt file? Do I need to convert it to Word or HTML first? Second question is regarding the notes, say, if I have a note link on page 3 and paragraph 2 that has a number "1", once clicked, it will take me to the notes page at the end of each chapter or the whole book - I would like to have the note has a clickable number "1" on it also, so if I click the "1" on the note page, it will bring me back to page 3 (and paragraph 3 preferably, but not required, as bring back to page 3 is good enough).

Are these doable in Calibre for txt files? if both are doable, exactly how to do this? Many thanks.
