I never before Sigil encountered a program that would essentially destroy significant parts of a document because of typo mistakes. I admire the many great features of Sigil but recently I've started doing almost all my markup in UltraEdit and/or Word 2003, and try to really check for errors before bringing it to Sigil. Even then, I always miss some typos and find I must replace significant parts of my files because of Sigil's 'help'. Why can't Sigil simply point out mistakes in a different color, add a pointer to where located, and allow an interim save even though there are xhtml errors (without any automatic 'corrections')?
I've never been helped, as far as I know, by Tidy's error corrections because most of the corrections are gobbly-gook that is spread throughout an entire xhtml file, or at least through many paragraphs.
