I have many old text files that are broken up into chapters by simple labels. Chapter 1 (or Chapter I) and so forth.

I've been just loading them into Sigil, but then I have to go through it and mark each chapter by hand.

While this isn't that big a deal, only takes like 10 minutes each, it does get kind of old. It seems like there must be a way to automate it, and then be able to save it as a html file with the chapters labeled so I can import that into Sigil.

Any ideas? (Sadly, ten years ago I could probably write a program to do this, but I don't even have a programming language installed on my computer anymore...)
