Knowledge of html/xhtml is not really necessary.

There are a few very nice features in BD such as epigraph, verse, annotation, text author, etc.
Doesn't matter what they are called though. What does matter is that they give me an opportunity to make text to look different. For example if in the middle of a story there is a letter, then I use
annotation which is configured to use: Swis721 BT Roman with indent 4, shift 10%, justified, width 95%. Then for the author of the letter I use
text author feature, with Dutch801 Rm BT Roman, indent 0, right justification, shift 5%, width 90%.
When you use HTML02HTML utility to convert to HTML with CSS, does it save all the settings? I tried to rename html0 to html. It lost all of these niceties that create the proper atmosphere when I read a book.
