I am not a stranger to html, having designed a website for my business (although it was many years ago) and more currently, an author's website. I am puzzled by the simple things that I cannot figure out!
Do I not have to arrange page numbering? I want the prologue to use Roman numerals, and the Arabic numerals to begin with Chapter One.
Thank you both for your help.

Since there are no 'Pages", you have no need of Numbers.
Sigil has a TOC (NCX) tool that builds from HTML Headers discovered.
My convention is:
H3 for all chapter-like sections
H2 for Books with Parts or Multiple books
I use H1 for the Bundle, otherwise I stick with the highest used
You can use h4,h5, h6 for mid levels bearing in mind that some devices hate 3+ level nesting.
You can also just place ID for anchors as a landing point.
IMHO Just write a section, chapter each as a file, then order them in the book browser, Generate the TOC (NDX) and save (you can save at any time.
Do learn to use a CSS linked to each section.
Find a couple of EPUB you like the looks of, then examine the code.
Sigil make finding the stylein in the CSS pretty easy find the 'style=blal" Right click it: Goto Link or style. Sigil will jump to the first definition (It is possible the Pub uses Cascading definitions, but that is not the most common)
