No.
You need to jump into Stylesheets big time
stylesheet (assumes 1 sheet and each page has a reference)
Code:
.slightlybigger { font-size: 150% }
I use percent (of default). 2em, 24pt are valid
CodeView add or insert after existing selector
Code:
<h3 class="any_existing slightlybigger"> The heading</h3>
If your page does not have a linked stylesheet, you need a entry like this
Code:
<link href="../Styles/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
just below the <title> tag (the stylesheet names must agree exactly.)

I've now read the Sigil How To doc which is great. But it doesn't explain how to add styles eg. if I want to have chapter headings and then subheadings within the chapter, some bold and some normal.
I dont mind using the same format for my 4 books but then I guess I'd have to start with a template in first place that included those 'extra' styles. Is there a base style sheet (is that the 'template'??) for Sigil that includes more styles? And if there is, then how do I apply those styles? Do I go into code mode or do those styles show up in the styles drop-down menu where I presently see heading1, heading 2 etc etc?
Many thanks.

See above.
A Style sheet can be a standard way of doing things for a given look.
Why not hop over to Baen Free Library (or any other EPUB site, inc MR) that has a Simple styled EPUB that you like some things about.
Open in Sigil
Now switch to CV. Any time you see
class="
somename"
Now goto the stylesheet and locate that name
