Sorry,
what is regex? Isn't regex = registry editor, which is part of Microsoft Windows?
It's my fault that I failed to give an example of what I wish to do with Sigil in my original post.
Let me give you an example.
My book consists of tables (not the table of contents), footnotes, index and bibliography.
The tables in my book contains cells with mathematical notations such as superscripts and subscripts.
In each chapter of my book, there are footnotes. I wish to have the footnotes appear when the cursor hovers over the footnote. For example, at the end of the sentence there is a number 1 in blue superscript. When the cursor hovers over the blue superscript, an explanation appears.
The index at the end of book contains keywords that are referenced by their respective footnotes. Each footnote has a number in blue hypertext. Clicking the number will take the reader back to the sentence or phrase which contains the footnote.
The above brief description is what I plan to do with my book using Sigil.
Based on the replies to my original post, I gather that I need to learn the following tools:
(1) CSS
(2) xHTML
(3) regex (is it "registry editor" which is part of Microsoft Windows?)
