First, I am not an HTML programmer and am not determined to use HTML or whatever variations of HTML are out there. But the loaded XYZTML-whatever is altered in order to put out, via Sigil code, the epub. So it seems to me to be common sense that if something happens to the epub file it wouldn't make any sense at all to have to go back to the originally loaded HTML and start from scratch when a very simple HTML save would obviate the need. Of course there will always be those who say no such problem could arise. That's a lot like being told by a clerk that computers never make mistakes.

Actually, xhtml is the "basis" of ePUBS. Again, if you are, for some inexplicable reason, bound and determined to
Interesting little assumption you've got going there.

I don't know xhtml from qwhtml. I'm just seeing an easy fix to a possible problem and a lot of people "bound and determined" to maintain the status quo.
