Anyway, attached is a cute kitty for your effort.
Read to me more as a criticism of Guido's book than your choice to use Sigil. It's been a while since I've looked at it, but I think I recall the guide calling for e.g. paragraph classes for headings. That'll cause the TOC issues you're having, on top of just being semantically wrong.

Still going off memory, but I think he recommends that roundtripping thing of copying your entire MSS into a separate text file to rip out all the styling. That's actually sorta disastrous if you DID set up your Word file with proper styles. So, just kinda take guidance from that source with a grain of salt.

Again, acknowledging I may be misremembering, and also it's possible the book has different info compared to the blog guide. I never looked at the book, but I did poke around on the blog some years ago.
