ok
here's the sigil find replace steps i used
after choosing NOT to preserve the picture. could be tweaked to preserve it

i will try the title="" idea when i do another book

replace the code for picture with H2 tags, carefully negotiating the neste spans

find
<p class="textbreak"><span class="dropcap"><span><img src="../images/00003.jpeg" alt="" class="calibre7"/>
replace
<h2>xchapter</h2><p class="calibre8"><span><span>

find
/h2>
replace
/h2><h3>xChapter </h3>
..
then regenerate TOC
then remove H2
..
find
<h2 class="calibre7">xchapter</h2>
replace blank

the book code will now have incremental sigil id tags, one per chapter
