I've wondered if updating Sigil and using the updates on my epub might have something to do with corruption problems. That's what I have concluded, that there's been corruptions going on.
Actually, I did have some french accented words.
island was originally
Île à Dumais so in fact that's french accented. When I was looking for problems in Sigil code editor that french accented name was all screwed up, so I took that out and typed in island, and got those weird characters
ÃŽle Ã* that I found last night using textpad.
I had several jpegs of the island in there, and their filenames had the same accented letters, which I discovered Sigil really did not like, so, I took the jpegs out, but did not remove them from the Sigil /images/ list, I renamed the jpegs, and put them back in. But, that didn't fix the reader-page skipping.
I discovered Sigil and Digital Editions apparantly do not like jpeg filenames that have accented letters nor spaces between the filename words. And, I've speculated they also don't like jpeg filenames that are longer than 8 characters.
In Sigil code editor I found the following at the top of some of my xhtml sections, but, not others.
------------------------
<style type="text/css">
body.sgc-1 {word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;}
span.sgc-2 {font-weight: normal; font-size: medium;}
h4.sgc-3 {font-style: italic}
div.sgc-6 {font-style: italic}
span.sgc-5 {font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;}
div.sgc-9 {font-style: italic;}
span.sgc-8 {font-style: normal; font-weight: normal}
span.sgc-7 {font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;}
span.sgc-10 {font-weight: normal;}
</style>
-----------------------------
There were many times I would change a line to 'heading 3' or '4' so I could find it quickly the next day to continue on.
I would return the line to normal, and Sigil Book View would display the line as normal, but, Code View would show it to still be within the heading code.
I found those because Digital Editions would display the line as a heading code.
---------------------------
Then I found a lot of weird coding like the following
<h4 id="heading_id_14">The group was dead silent.</h4>
<div>
"w-w-e-l-l-l....ummm, -- (name), tell us what you meant earlier when you said 'oh my god' several times." said somebody.
</div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>
(name) was looking quite pale at this point, with worry creases in his forehead, his mouth grimaced, sitting in a chair a bit away from the group, staring at the floor.
</div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>
After a minute or two trying to collect himself, (name) spoke, slowly at first, "I know you all know most of this, 2012, Chchen Itiza, it's what we're talking about here. But, bear with me if you would. To get to my point, I need to say it the only way I can get it out.
</div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>
I just got back from a vacation trip to Chichen Itza....you know the Mayan pyramid in Yucatan, Mexico. By the way, down there, they call it El Castilo, The Castle. Weird, eh.
</div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>
Actually there's dozens more restored constructions or ruins being restored there than just that famous pyramid, which are spread out over 6.5 square kilometres. Each construction is dedicated to a different god, where that god's priests and priestesses would congregate.
</div>

And there was some other very weird code I took out that I cannot now find in an earlier epub file to show you.
