Since I'm the OP here I don't suppose it would hurt to ask a question about your above reply. It sounds related to something I've run into.
I don't really know if it is "kosher" to paste text into the Sigil window. Nor do I know how I would look it up.
At any rate, I have done it with varying results. Taking text from a separate document with no font formatting other than bold chapter headings, I am seeing odd displays of font. Some normal (not header) lines are bold, some are not, some are sized larger than others - a variety. This is part of what I referred to earlier as quirky.
This next probably doesn't sound "similar" to you as programmer, but it is similar in screen appearance.
Sometimes when I load an HTML file and start putting Header1 "marks" in, it ends up with the headers (Chapter 1 etc.) in the same font and size as the text only bolded.
Sometimes I lose the header mark and have to set it again - whereupon the header font jumps up 2 or 3 sizes.
Other times, when loading an HTML similarly and adding header1's the end result of it will be that the header font pops up in 16 or 20 size. "Remove formatting" the header makes the font smaller, but does not take it down to match the normal text font size.
(I don't really know what remove formatting is actually supposed to do, because searching Helps gives me nothing.)
These mixed results with fonts makes things pretty iffy/quirky. How do I know what will come out of it in the end if it varies on the screen?
