I create my chapter in HTML.
I open the file in 1 sperate Sigil window and save as .epub.
So far so good.
In another Sigil window i have the actual, quite large book that i am putting together chapter by chapter.
In this Sigil window i find nothing that would let me simply insert a new .epub or .html file into a new Section...xhtml Chapter break page, so i basically copy and paste from the chapter by itself in the second Sigil window to the new Section page.
Sure, that works somehow, but there must be another way or??
The trouble with doing it the above described way is that images can't be copied and pasted along with text for instance, and that Sigil has no "Select all" option in it's "Edit" menu like almost every other software program on the planet has.
Please let me know how i can do this better, thanks.  |
Many of 'The Standard' key strokes work in Sigil.
Ctrl-A =Select All
Tip
(if your new work use the same stylesheet)
Paste your NEW chapter at the END of the Existing one, Then Split the chapter.
All the 'boilerplate' parts of the HTML will be included on the new page.
that would not happen if you just pasted into a 'new' page.
If you use 'Add Existing' in the book browser: It will insert any Stylesheet (and renumber it if needed) along wit the HTML file. It does not test the stylesheet to discover if it is common to the various pieces..
