My main use of Sigil is to:
1. Correct errors in spelling or OCR
2. Structure / restructure the format of the book to something that is more pleasing (to me). That usually involves adding or modifying the TOC, Chapter headings, margins, adding a cover image, etc.

Most of my work is done in the html and css files, using WYSIWYG to check my work. I do edit in WYSIWYG if the change is simple (e.g., centering or bolding a single short phrase or word.

Perhaps it's already there and I'm not aware of it, but the ability to "simply" insert a CSS file to the book when one is missing and then have Sigil do all the necessary references in the html, opf and ncx files would be very helpful. I occasionally run into a book without a css file and all of the <style> information in the individual html files.

Thanks to you and all who have made Sigil such a useful tool. It has made working with epub files so much easier. I'll add my vote for plugins. Keep up the great work.
