Read about markdown
here. Enable it in the TXT input conversion options in the GUI or use --markdown if you are using ebook-convert. Markdown itself is a simple syntax that allows for basic formatting of TXT files. When run though a markdown processor it turns those formatting identifies into equivalent HTML tags. E.G. # becomes h1, ## becomes h2.

It used to be so simple to generate an ebook file. Why is it so complicated now?

Because of all the people complaining that they don't want a toc or their input file is structured in such a way that they need to be able to specify custom toc identifiers.
To get it working in your case, set the --level1-toc to "//*[name()='h1']" in the table of contents section to have it work. Use the same xpath with h2 and h3 for level 2 and 3 to get the sub items (## and ###).
