is it possible for sigil to generate a toc where the chapter numbers are graphical images instead of ascii!

Code:

 <p><img alt="Chapter" class="ch" src="../Images/the%20alton%20gift-46.jpg" /></p>

  <h3 id="heading_id_2" title="Chapter 42">&nbsp;</h3>

From Sigil FAQ

How can I use an image for a Chapter heading, and have it show up correctly in the Table of Contents?

You can put anything between the heading tags to make Sigil link to it in the NCX (the epub file responsible for the TOC), and set the "title" attribute on the <h#> element to get the text.
So it would look like this:
<h1 title="CHAPTER 1"><img ... ></h1>The TOC would link to that heading element (and by extension, the images inside it) and the TOC entry would say "CHAPTER 1".

and that would transfer OK to, say, a sony reader i.e. I'd see chapter 1 etc in the go to TOC options ?

Work fine on my ADE PEz.
What is tricky to get work (and look good/the same on many readers)
is a Background image with a Text (chapter number) overlay. (

when it works)

I have used: Image Text Image chapter headers with some success (they do not render exactly the same on different readers.
