You shouldn't have to think about the case of the title at all; the whole point is the titles have already been properly formatted in the existing toc and they are displayed differently in the html files, so regenerating the toc will require a lot of extra work; I just want to copy the text from the existing toc and past it back into the html files so I can regenerate the toc with the correct titles which are already in the toc.

Edit for clarity: I mean, I want to copy the text from the existing toc into a title attribute for each heading, without in any way relying on the text in the h* tags of each file.

So for example:

HTML file:

<h1 id="toc_marker-26">1</h1>

<h2><span class="Cap">E</span><span class="SmallCap">N CHEMIN POUR</span> <span class="Cap">S</span><span class="SmallCap">HADAR</span> <span class="Cap">L</span><span class="SmallCap">OGOTH</span></h2>

Corresponding title IN THE EXISTING TOC:

 <navPoint id="navPoint-7" playOrder="7">
      <navLabel>
        <text>1. En chemin pour Shadar Logoth</text>
      </navLabel>
      <content src="Text/9782820516909-5.xhtml#toc_marker-26"/>
    </navPoint>

The hypothetical plugin should copy the text from the toc: "1. En chemin pour Shadar Logoth" and stick it back in the html file at the point the link goes to, either by putting it directly into a title="" attribute inside the h* tag or, if that is too complicated as DiapDealer has suggested, by inserting it in an html comment <!-- 1. En chemin pour Shadar Logoth --> so that it can be regexed into place.

The final result (after the plugin and maybe a regex to place the text where it belongs) should be something like this:

HTML file:

<h1 id="toc_marker-26" title="1. En chemin pour Shadar Logoth">1</h1>

<h2><span class="Cap">E</span><span class="SmallCap">N CHEMIN POUR</span> <span class="Cap">S</span><span class="SmallCap">HADAR</span> <span class="Cap">L</span><span class="SmallCap">OGOTH</span></h2>

(I am ignoring for the reasons of this post the poorly constructed html code which should obviously also be fixed and which can easily be fixed with a simple regex).
