Where is the stylesheet.css?

I follow on my slow trials with Sigil using xhtml files exported from OpenOffice.

I took several steps to try to improve the quality of my html file (xhtml in fact) and I have been rewarded with better and better results with Sigil. I hope to provide you with a test file and some comments soon, including images.

One thing surprises me though: when Sigil creates an EPUB, it seems it does not provide a stylesheet.css file. If I hand this epub to calibre, and let him do a conversion from epub to epub, it provides me with a stylesheet.css file.

Due to my cleaning work, I can see that this file is now quite short and handy to work on.

Question
So where could I find the stylesheet.css in the first epub from Sigil?

If your original file had a CSS stylesheet, it will have one when you open it in Sigil. If it doesn't, it won't.

Creating a new CSS file is easy. Right-click the "Styles" folder in the Book Browser, and choose "Add new item...". Don't forget to link to that CSS file in the <head> section of the XHTML files, like so:

Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../Styles/Style0001.css" type="text/css" />
Admittedly, that last part is a pain. In a future version, Sigil will ask you from which XHTML files do you want the new stylesheet to be automatically linked.

This will be very handy. Thanks for your explanations.

But instead of test/css you'd better use text/css, Valloric!

For one of my books I copied your link, and spent two hours to find out where the error was. At last, Mikel, the developer of EPUBReader, found it for me!

It's a typo, I've fixed it now. Sorry
