Splitting into nested div situations, coupled with the wrong Tidy Settings, cured me of doing such things in Book View long ago. Last edited by DiapDealer; 05-31-2015 at 06:31 PM. |

I try to think like the end user, who probably will never see the html markup. FWIW, my first browsers were ViolaWWW, Cello and NCSA Mosaic on a 286 running Windows 3.1. Perhaps you remember them? |

I use both the preview pane and book view. I size the preview pane to be very narrow, while book view is approximately the same dimensions as the ereader I use. That way, I can quickly check how tables, hanging indents, etc. look in my own personal ereader, while making sure any changes I've made don't completely screw up the format on ereaders with other screen dimensions. Easier than constantly resizing the same window.

That's what I had done as well until I found out you can use the preview pane for both...just double click the header on the preview pane to toggle between docked and un-docked. you can set the un-docked pane to any size/dimension. |

AFAIK the NYC-TA still thinks the same. As of April 2012 (OS/2's 25th birthday) hundreds of OS/2 boxes were still in use in the Metrocard swipe terminal network. And some US regional banks still had OS/2 based ATM's.
Aah for the days, when the only way to go was to use gopher and wais. I'd forgotten about veronica BR |

I usually size them about 60/40, plus a narrow sliver for the Book Browser on the left. |

Using Sigil 8.6 on a Mac running OSX 10.10.3. In all the versions of Sigil I've used (at least the last several), I have never had satisfactory handling of nonbreaking spaces. I have had a book rejected from the Google Play store for using nbsps and have been told to switch to #x00A0. Maybe no one cares about Google Play anymore (does it exist?) nonetheless, I have abide by my distributors wishes and not get files rejected.
In Sigil, the #x00A0s get converted into regular spaces. I never ever cross-my-heart-hope-to-die edit in Book View. And I've added #x00A0 to the preserve entities list, all to no avail. Basically, once I'm done editing in Sigil I have to have a separate step of opening in Calibre. And then I can never open the book in Sigil again from that point on. And I really do prefer Sigil. |

What are your Sigil settings for Preserve Entities? And do you have Tidy on open/ save enabled.
If it matters, named entities are not allowed in html5 and so Sigil will be moving to using numeric enties (either hex or not) as defaults for preserving entities. KevinH Quote:

Whenever I do a search for an entity, I always specify "named" in the Google line. I hope you will alert us when this change goes into effect, so I can stop updating the software! I'm still using WordStar 7d (more recent than Lynx, tee hee), so I'm comfortable wearing old clothes. |

Hi,
You misunderstand me. These are only default settings for new users. You (and even new users) will be able to use both named and numeric entities by changing the Preserve Entities preferences. It is just that new empty documents in Sigil 0.9 will default to the xA0 char instead of nbsp so that it is generating technically correct code for both epub2 and epub3 type ebooks. I was just trying to explain that html5 has moved away from non-xml named entities since they are an attack vector (previously you could create your own named entities that are in fact malicious by having them expand to yet another named entity to recursively use up memory). So as an ebook author getting to know some common numeric entities might prove useful for generating ebooks that must pass through epub3 validation (and it seems even epub2 validation for some ebook stores). Hope I explained things better this time. KevinH Quote:
