If you're not using Sigil as the primary tool for creating the 'book', but instead you're using a WYSIWG tool such as a word processor, desktop publishing package or other specialist tool and converting to ePUB; then you may be better off resolving basic layout issues at that stage, rather than 'undoing/adjusting' what's in the ePUB using Sigil.

Example: if you use the Styles feature of OO Writer or MS Word and convert from there, you should have a lot less code editing to do on the ePUB in Sigil, than you will if you use Writer or Word is as if they were a typewriter, i.e. using tabs, spaces and newlines etc for horizontal and vertical spacing.

You are replying to an old thread, and Sigil has changed a great deal since those responses were posted.

I have a blog at http://notjohnkdp.blogspot.com/ that includes my basic style sheet for my e-books. You are welcome to copy it and add it to your Sigil book in the STYLE folder under some such name as style.css

You will then have to link your paragraphs (and headings etc) to the style sheet by calling for a CLASS. Any basic paragraphs beginning <p> will be indented. But if you go <p class="first"> the para will not have an indented first line, and will have a small space above it. And so on!

At the top of each Sigil file, you will want to point to the style sheet with this line in the <head> portion of the code:

<link href="../Styles/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="style/css" />

Good luck!
