Add "font-size" and "font-colour" functions to next version of Page Edit?
 

Hi All!

Currently if I want to highlight a text with bigger font size and coloured text, I will add the <span> html tag as follows:

I hope that the font-size and font-colour can be set easily in next version of PageEdit, will my dream comes true?

Thanks for any kind of help!

Please stop with these "requests" to change Sigil and PageEdit to match your personal choices.

Sorry to hear about that!


Just to make things clear:

ls it true that the Development Team shall NOT accept any feature requests from Sigil's users?


Thanks for the Great Works of Sigil's Development Team!

No. We will always consider reasonable improvement requests from thoughtful users, especially long time users who have thought through their request and understand how it might impact other longtime users. We may still reject them but they will be considered.

We will *NOT* accept repeated improvement requests from someone who has not even bothered to use the software enough to understand what it can and can not do and only wants to make it work more like a different product.

These are not improvement requests but requests to fit your personal preferences.

That is why I said "stop".

For my uses, I use the preview pane not PageEdit to see what I am working on. All changes are done in CodeView. If you want a WYSIWYG epub editor, there are choices out there such as Vellum for Mac users, Atlantis, Jutoh, etc. I prefer Sigil for the control it gives me over the final code and that it does not add crud to the code.

As for using styles? I would prefer to use a class defined in a stylesheet. Much more useful when I want to re-use code.

IMHO Avoid inline styles like the plague. That is what the CSS is about: SET ONCE, Use many (stole that from my RDB manual :p )

You can't customize PageEdit, but you could define your own Sigil Clip Bar buttons. Here's a link to an older post that explains how to add a <p> button. (You can use the same method to wrap tags in <span> tags.)
