Any suggestions?

Too hard!
Or not as simple as "PHD"?
Calibre is files are mostly "Converted files".
The GIGO rule applies.
As to "Left Aligning the heading ", Very simple way, IMHO messy as it puts
A style into every file (and they don't always have the same SGC#).
Locate the Heading,
Click somewhere
ON it (
If it is existing and a recognized H#, the the Heading styler tool will change to the current setting. )
(
do not select the text. Sigil 2.4 seems fussy on the order you perform some steps or it discards or forgets attributes )
Now set the Alignment (R/L/C)
Then SELECT the text and apply CHARACTER styling (Bold, Italic,Underline) (
see what I meant about fussy about the order performed?)
The cleaner way (and possibly simple if Heading # tags are not used except for the same purpose/style)
Open the stylesheet, add a entry to apply to that tag
Code:
h3 { text-align: left; font-size: 150%; }
(you get the picture All use of the h3 tag will have these attributes)
Trickier
, but even finer control that will require switching to Code view, is to add a selector to the headings so that not all H# tags have the same style. A good use for S&R with care (don't use Replace All unless yo are ABSOLUTELY sure of everything
)
