Problems with this so far:
1) Whenever I try to use a new tag <imprint> </imprint> Sigil reverts back to the <p> tag.
2) Using <I> tag Sigil drops in its own class tag. This is also true for centering text using the .center class.
3) The book cover displays correctly in Sigil/Calibre as does the Title page logo. However, Title page logo/colophon doesn't display at all in Adobe Digital Editions and shows as a very, very dark, almost black oblong on my iPhone. The cover pic. is fine in both Digital Editions and my phone.
4) I think this is a general issue with embedded fonts. Italics/Bold doesn't display in Sigil but seems fine on the iPhone and Digital Editions.
5) There's probably more but I've forgotten 
Finally, could I use Dreamweaver CS4 to code up the text then drop it into Sigil.
Thanks in advance. |
Not sure why you'd use the <imprint> tag, in addition to dc data, but I think that it has to be included between the bibref tags, if those are even still used (anyone know?). Those are EAD tags, right?
Turn off tidy and use <em> and <strong> instead, Sigil won't replace the tags with its own classes.
Don't know what to tell you about the colophon or logo in ADE without an example.
Nor about the embedded fonts, although if they're displaying okay in ADE and iBooks, you're probably fine.
