OK, I've removed the <span>'s (working from text source) and have created the attached ePub.
There are a few things I would like to do to it but it's not too bad as-is.
I'm new to epub generation but I would have liked to:
- Add emdashes in place of multiple en dashes
- Change double quotes to curly double quotes
- Re-add "PIONEERS OF AUSTRALIA" to the TOC (I inadvertently removed it)
- Add hyperlinks to the different chapters from the table of contents
Is this sort of functionality possible for a future version of sigil?
