Hitch, thank you SO much. First, I experimented with the code part and just stuck h1 and /h1 tags in the code, and--here's the really (I mean really) scary part. After having successfully generated, for the first time, a TOC, Calibre failed to save it, and the EPUB file not only made Calibre crash but I got an error message about some "Python."
Still not the worst.The entire EPUB vanished from my hard drive. I swear by Jove, this is true. If I had not fortuitously copied the un-TOC-ed .EPUB to my Nook, I'd have defenestrated myself. I haven't had something this weird happen since Windows 95.
To get to the point of my citation-- Yes, I believed that doing exactly what you say would/should have generated a TOC. It did not. I found but failed to bookmark a site by someone who seemed to have more HTML knowledge than I (not a glowing recommendation, of course) that stated outright that Sigil will not generate TOC's for WYSIWIG users.
So I've been copying and pasting header format (again, you're right about font style and format), adding <h1> and </h1> to the ends of that line, and...hopefully, when I do this all again, my laptop will not levitate or develop a force field or vanish under a cloaking device.
