I can for example paste it into a new html file. And I suppose I can make a new epub of just that chapter. But how do I get the new, Sigil-generated epub text into the existing book? Shall I just delete all the old paragraphs, go to the new epub, copy the substitute paragraphs to clipboard, and paste them into the book?

Having typed that question, it now seems quite reasonable to me. Shall I do it?

Thanks!
If you are wanting to do a sleight-o-hand replacement, I use the tweak-EPUB feature that is included in calibre. I explode the epub, replace the desired file with one of the EXACT same name. then click rebuild. Done
Note. this works with any file inside the EPUB (Note: Changing a pictures size, may need other adjustments)
