I've been working on this book for two months now. I am constantly using the Validate EPUB option to check for errors. And I've had Tidy on on the whole time.
I work predominantly in the Book View; going into code view, only to clear up <div> tags or any Validate errors that crop up. AND I have used search and replace many times, often with the Replace All option.
So far, everything works like a charm. But, hearing all these horror stories, I'm going to be a lot more careful, from now on. |
I've gotten religion on the backup front myself.
I'm just the opposite, I always work in code view. The only time I look at book view is to make sure something looks the way I want it to. The other day I was doing just that when I noticed a misplaced apostrophe and deleted it. When I went back to the code view, it yammered at me for a nbsp entity. What? The only entity I use is amp. Where was that nbsp? Right where I had deleted that apostrophe. Sigil put it there and then complained to me about it! LOL.
