1. i created the thread, but after 2 days there was no posted help

3. sometime after that , the cavalry arrived with various smart solutions
4.but there was also one person querying my posted code so i posted more, trying to explain what I had already done, step by step ( note: past tense, already done, before any advice got posted - only to get accused of ignoring the help and of promoting an outdated, poor quality solution
this baby duckling, however, still flounders on" what it the elegant solution to generating non existent incremental chapter NUMBERS and getting those into the code & the toc"
[ without using a plug in]
the smart help seems more focussed on how to split one file into separate chapters using sigil not calibre, and on ridiculing the only solution that google search was able to find for me, but not on a smarter way to conjure up 144 chapter numbers out of this air
