XML homework

On the other hand, I've been doing html for at least 15 years, it's STILL not a piece of cake even for the experienced. The tricky part for me is understanding how the ebook readers and viewers are...

Thanks, st_albert. This sounds useful. Is the "in-line TOC" simply another html (xml) file in the sequence of xml files that make up my book? I'm guessing that the links between the TOC and the...

Linking the TOC

OK, I think I'm following you here. My Sigil has already generated a toc.ncx file which looks like a complete TOC. It shows on the list of files on the left side of Sigil's workbench. Is the the...

Where's the TOC?

I can assemble quite a nice looking book in Sigil, and save the result to an epub file that uploads to Amazon, no problem. The Sigil epub generates a nice Table of Contents (TOC) from headings on...

Yes, that's what I was looking for. Another user supplied a useful wiki link that explained everything. Sorry everything got scattered. I was trying to keep the entire thread in one place.

Sigil Backup files

Can anyone confirm that the entire Sigil book & all its data files are contained within the EPUB file? Is the EPUB file a compressed file like a ZIP? Is the EPUB file the only file that needs to...

Backup files

I'm not sure where Sigil is stashing its data files. When finished, I seem to have a couple of sets of files on my PC, and I'm looking to backup the data files for security. I'd also like to backup...

Thanks

Version 0.5.3 - it doesn't say if it's a Beta, or what stage of development. I'm not sure if I can exclude Tidy from Sigil. All I know is that I hate working on anything with Tidy hanging over my...

CSS sheet

Meme gave a simple instruction on how to link a style sheet to your html page, but CSS is not so easy. Fortunately, CSS is simplified quite a bit for epub books, but you'll still need to do some...

Editing code view in Sigil

The editing of an html file in the code view mode is hampered by Sigil trying to be clever. If I try to change all instances of an html tag ("<blockquote>", for example, Sigil will do a Find/Replace...

Sigil is too willful about some things

My Sigil is trying to take control of stuff that it should leave alone. For example, it sets the default editor for all "txt" files on my PC to Sigil. I don't want that. Most "txt" files belong to...
