Just played a bit around with your tip on using
'Add Existing' in the book browser "theducks".
If i bring in a html file it remains in the book browser as html, is not converted into xhtml - how come??
If i use the converted epub file instead of the html original Sigil does not even add it to the list but rather further down below into the Misc folder.
This confuses me now, shouldn't any file added to the "text" folder automatically end up as xhtml and why do epubs not go in there??
Since you bring up style sheets, i use the very very old Netscape 4 Composer for this projects text, image s and layout (yep, has some advantages to keep old software that is pure and simple...) - and there where no style sheet's to NS 4 back then.
So my question would be; if i only deal with pure HTML styling, do i need to worry about any CSS, or does Sigil anyway change code around? (i notice it pop's a good number of INLINE CSS right into the xhtml code, but that is easy to handle...

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.. |
