As I work through the book I'm converting from PDF I'm starting to get annoyed. I work in Sigil. While it's quite useful, it displays things one way. Calibre ebook reader displays things some other way. And Adobe Digital Editions some third way.

While Sigil does not need font embedding to show UTF8 files ADE really need them and needs style definitions to be carefuly crafted in order to work. ADE has been quite helpful pointing out mistakes Sigil does not get. But if your file is not standards compliant ADE will just ignore it all or just part of it quietly and I don't seem to find some debug mode.

On the other hand there was one error regarding SVG in the cover that ADE just worked it out and Sigil's Validate epub marked.

From this standpoint Calibre is somewhere in between: some things just work some don't. Only that it's slooow.

Now I'm trying to figgure out some mess with unordered lists that come out differently on each one and started to think: is there something that can show what an ePub should actually look like? I'm feeling like in the old days when each browser had its own way of making things.
