Enter text in Book View or Code View
I am nowing using Sigil instead of going thru Word to generate my text because I do like to bit fiddle.
This is a general "entering data" question. At first, I started using the Book View but noticed that instead of <p></p> enclosing my paragraphs, Sigil would delineate the raw text by using <div></div> along with other tags just as <bk/>. I now enter "raw text" by hand in the code view. When entering raw text in the book view, how can I tag my paragraphs with the paragraph tags. CR/LF doesn't do it. In fact, should raw text be entered in book view? Thanks Ronald |

Book View when you hit Enter will repeat whatever tags exist on hte block you edited.
So if you start off with text in <div> tags, and then hit enter to type more text, it too will end up in div tags with the same class applied if any. If you want text in <p> tags in Book View, just make sure you start you editing within <p> tags (which is what Sigil does by default). That it "went wrong" for you simply means that your text you hit enter within originally was a <div> rather than a <p> tag. Note that in Book View you can also ensure the current text block is within <p> tags by using the Headings toolbar/Format menu option, to choose the "Normal" option. That will switch any block tag (headings, blockquotes, or divs etc) into a <p>. |
