Well I've run out of steam here - tried all I can think of including importing various other formats of the manuscript into Sigil. Have tried applying some of the code adjustments offered, even once totally re-wrote the template code using Danger's simplifications. Even found that importing plain text file of the manuscript rendered inside Sigil with most of the punctuation replaced by black diamonds with white question marks inside.

Nothing working... that is to say, same result consistently - the best I can achieve is most of the internal pages rendering correctly in iPad but still the leading 4 pages - title page, publisher page, dedication etc - all are being forced to left alignment.

I find it amazing that such total changes (as a new template) can be totally ineffectual.

I eagerly await any help offered.

Many thanks.
Happy New Year!
