sigil "condensation" of nested <div>'s
 

I imported a large valid ebook xhtml file to Sigil (version 0.5.3), saved to epub, and found that all nested <div>'s had been "condensed"; e.g.,

xhtml file content...
<div class="outer">
<div class="middle">
<div class="inner">
<img src="example.jpg" alt="example">
</div>
</div>
</div>

appeared in the epub as:
<div class="outer middle inner">
<img src="example.jpg" alt="example">
</div>

I googled unsuccessfully for explanation, so tried the notation on good example code and found it didn't work.

Is there an explanation or workaround for this?

Change to include the two comments in red and close the img tag properly.

Will that do?

To answer your question for a workaround: adding a "&nbsp;" after the first two divs would prevent this behavior. But the blank may not be welcome ...

The explenation: i guess there should be not difference in behavior of the reader at all.

What makes it for you different ?

-------------------
Perkins workaround is much better than mine...

Run Sigil, turn off Tidy and then load your XML and see if it still changes your divs.

That made all the difference, thanks!! Now I'll always run with tidy off.

The workarounds might've worked, but they would've been a lot of trouble so I'm glad they're not required.

Thanks, all!

So it seems Tidy is tidying more then just the full paragraph styles. Bah!
