I'll see if I can dig it up rather than make my own (though I've learned something about CSS, anyway).



For me, Sigil offers Normal, and Heading 1-6, even in new documents. However, the headings don't seem to actually do anything until defined. I assume "normal" just applies the "body" format?




I stole the "built-in Sigil CSS definitions" language from an older forum response. Thanks for explaining the SGC #, though. Very informative.

The Sigil buttons seem to be the only way of applying italic, correct? I've tried including it in the style definitions, but it didn't work (though other things did). I seem to recall seeing a note on this in passing, but haven't tracked it down yet.

If it did not work, you made a typo or left out/wrong punctuation (semi-colon vs colon. invalid unit)

There is always CodeView

<i> is the standard markup for italics </i>

The cleaner way is to create a class in the stylesheet with all the attributes you will use on the word or phrase.

.title {
    display: block;
    font-size: 1.22222em;
    font-style: italic;
    font-weight: bolder;
    padding-bottom: 1px;
    padding-left: 1px;
    padding-right: 1px;
    padding-top: 1px;
    text-align: center;
        }
