Are the SGC_# a sigil code?

I'm having just more fun than should be legal with embedded fonts. Have just discovered that some of my books show just fine in Adobe Digital Editions, and some don't. Have tracked one problem to the sgc_1 code in the paragraph's html style code.

Basically, I had a font type, font size, ital, and this sgc code all in one style call in the html. When I took out the ital and the sgc code, I got my font, if not in italics. I can't figure what these sgc codes refer to. Can any one here help? And can I safely delete them?

Of course, one of the books that displays properly in ADE also has them. Go figure....

Thanks as always!

In Code view, if you go near the top of the page:
there is a style section (olive color), when you use one of the Sigil style buttons (Bold, underline, center) a Sigil code appears here (not always the same SGC code, page to page), you can replace SGC codes with your own styles, . Just read the SGC defined style and replace the usage you found with yours that does similar things..

Sigil uses HTMLTidy to check and prettyprint the xhtml, and this will attempt to put all the styling into the css, so
<p><i>Some italic text</i></p>
becomes
<p class="sgc-1">Some italic text</p>
with
p.sgc-1 {font-style:italic}
in a style item in the header.

I think Valloric has said he'll add an option to turn this off in a future version, but for now the way to avoid it is to use
<p><em>Some italic text</em</p>
instead, which is better usage anyway.

I don't think it is - is one of the few times the <em> tag is correctly used. The majority of times you actually want <i>, e.g. titles of works, names of ships, foreign words, character thoughts and many others.

No, The whole point of html/css is that the presentational aspects are separated from the semantic. <em> indicates empahsis, which may be conveyed in different ways in different situations, eg if someone with impaired vision uses a text-to-speech system to read your book. If you want to italicise text for purely visual reasons you should be using css to do it, the <i> tag is retained purely because it's still so commonly used.

<em class="text_emphasis">
<em class="ship_name">
<em class="title_of_work">

And so on.

Lot of work, but it will let you distinguish how you want them to look: small caps, italics, font, etc.

Just don't overuse <span>s, that's nearly as bad as overusing <div>s.

Thanks everyone!

Interesting input.

I kinda forgot about this because I figured it out. Pretty obvious what it was for when I actually LOOKED at the file. What remains strange to me is that it only put it in in a handful of places, when there were lots of italics throughout the (very long) book. Calibre, which created the epub file, had translated all the <i> code to a css code and that was present in all the instances where I used ital, including the handful that sigil inserted it's ital into. I'm sure there's a pattern, but I'm not going to bother to find it. I just took out the redundant code.

Thanks again.

Oh...I actually have another question now on the same subject. If the idea is to use <em> for emphasis and to keep it out of the CSS...what is the alternative for bold <b>?

Thanks!

Thanks!
1) Why not in the CSS?
2) You can have/use more than one CSS at a time
3) You can add (file) local styles in the same place that Sigil puts theirs between the <style type="text/css"> </style>,
just take care to be unique.
