Probably a silly queston!

I have been trying to create Sigil files with no "sgc-" CSS entries.

The following style sheet entry always shows up but no where in the code can I find it used.

  <style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/

  p.sgc-1 {text-align: center}
  /*]]>*/
  </style>

Is it just an artifact or have I missed something?

Did you ever use the "Center Text" button (this particular entry)?

I am thinking that some also get created as a work-around for the WYSIWYG, Book Viewer. Work-arounds are common Just like I have to code around The ADE viewer that will not center a partial width HR

I often wish that Sigil wouldn't keep adding @page margins to documents, I have to admit. I'm not sure why it does.

I never edit in book view. Always code view.

ADE is not the only RS that doesn't handle <hr /> very well. I went to various graphics as a work around. Tables aren't the only thing that graphics improves.

Then it is probably a work around.
You might peek and find what uses that selector (suspect a non H# title)
Margins work for me on HR tricks, I avoid graphics that can be done with entities or styl sheet tricks.
No tables for me

I've done a global search and it never appears in the code.

That I have not seen.

I find SGC codes scattered about (when used without my using a button) for headings, italics (<i> tags )

My experience is that if you remove the /* <!DATA ... entries, they are not put again by Sigil unless you use the WYSIWYG to format. I never use the WYSIWYG to apply styles once I've remove them so they stay gone forever.

It's strange that Sigil doesn't simply use <em> and <strong> for italic and bold instead of creating class.

Have you tried searching in code view for only "sgc-1"?

I always set this myself in the stylesheet, so perhaps that is the reason I have not seen this behavior.

Actually, I am glad. I feel that <em> and <strong> is very open for interpretation. The browser can decide that emphasis is bold or underline. It says nothing about the layout, only about the meaning of the words.

Right.
I have yet to find a Strong TTF
or an EM TTF

I do have Bold TTF versions
I have Italic TTF versions

If a different type face was all I was after, I could use those tags.
I prefer to be more specific and use a stylesheet

Well, you can put the desired interpretation in the CSS stylesheet.

Of course I can, but that is not the point. I really think that items like <em>, <strong> are misused. They should be used for structure, not layout.

Right, and CSS should be used for layout. So what's the problem? The structure here is "different kinds of emphasis".
