Well, if you are working with Sigil then is a piece of cake what you want

Just use (in the place you want):
Code:
<h1 title="FRONTISPIECE"></h1>
and after pressing Ctrl+T, you'll have a TOC entry with the name FRONTISPIECE.
So, what you need to do is to write with the global attribute "title" what you want to appear in the TOC. Examples:
Code:
<h1 title="This is a TOC entry"></h1>
<h2 title="Another TOC entry"></h2>
and so on

Of course, tags <h1..h6> can be empty.
