Am I living in Lala land or is Sigil really Nirvana.

Am I living in Lala land or is Sigil really Nirvana?

I came to this sight to figure out what was ‘wrong’ with Sigil.

Disclaimer:
Now I must point out that I am very lazy and the only things in life I find easy and natural are: sleeping, eating, resting, physical activities (not related to work), impressing dames (I think so anyway). All else is drudgery if it doesn’t immediately come quick.

I always find forums difficult. Its like a liquor store with hints of indulgence but all the bottles are behind doors within doors within doors. So, I quickly return to the easy things in life, or I try the thing I am trying to figure out at the moment (Sigil) and sometimes it is easier than reading the instruction manual or the labyrinth of a forum.

Here is What I Found:

Sigil seems to do everything for me. I just want a quick and dirty (easy) way to make .pubs and therein I want:
1. Clean text with highlighting (bold, italics) and varying sizing of print. WYSIWYG
2. Spacing between paragraphs and points without an actual spacing line. (dunno the term)
3. Chaptering
4. Pictures and graphics
5. Everything to work when I transfer my work to Stanza.

I tried Calibre and it was a dogs breakfast of tricks I am too lazy to figure out. Sigil does all of the above.

To me, Sigil is Nirvana. The banana tree, ready supply of beer and company with a bright warm sun glistening off the blue waters.

Am I missing something? If so, what?

Namaste,
mhikl
