Sigil is coming as close to nirvana as I could ever expect. By adding a decimal increment to each save I can go back to a successful save and try, try again.
I am to the point where I have every formation I can think of working and tweakable, save for centring my images but I have ranted on about this in another post and here is for my praise of Sigil, not for its follies.
I do not mind the steps I have to take to make my precious prides of joy: Pages - TextEdit - html - .pub - 1.00 − 1.01 −1.02 -, etc. I’m getting quite quick, quieting the Sigil devils that rear their quirky heads.
I do my planning, writing and editing in Pages. Then I copy my perfect copy to TextEdit and from there, save to html. (The fact that I can do anything in html lifts my spirit and swells my head.) And then to Sigil I bolt, html in hand, to make my masterpiece.
(I hope Sigil does not go complex on me. To add editing features other than the few it has, only taunts the spirits that like to make life’s little headaches, migraines, and defeats the KISS factor.)
With each tweak to my Sigil submaster I add a decimal version. My second success (remember, my first success was a fluke that the envious gods of pride taunted me to begin this thread) took me nine decimal times to get straight (with a number of back counts I wont name). But success was such that my third adventure took only four decimal points with no back counts (and only one restart) and no errors, only tweaks to satisfy my perfectionist drive.
The uninitiated ebook poet might find fault with my skewed images and first blank page but I am delighted and hail this Sigil a worthy member of my Application folder.
And now I have a tyke to put to bed and a spirit to soothe with cogitation before I start my 4th Sigil.
Namaste,
mhikl
