In the last hour or two I was editing a file in Sigil. I exited Sigil, restarted it later and reloaded the epub - just like experts here said to do.

One of the previously marked chapter headings had lost its heading attribute. I clicked on it and reset it.

Thereupon, the entire document from that point down to the next-to-last paragraph was set to BOLD. I tried several ways to get it not to do that, but couldn't. So now I have to go BACK to the original HTML FILE and start all over again.

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing I was talking about when I said the HTML file should be updated as Sigil goes along.

Of course some people here screamed bloody murder about that, saying all sorts of idiotic things to me and about me because of that suggestion/complaint.

I did reply that THINGS HAPPEN with computers. Apparently no one denied that. Neither did anyone want to fix it.

Also I do know how to get around the problem. I could go through the several hundred paragraphs, one at a time as per Sigil procedure, and de-format them all, killing the BOLD attributes. Not gonna happen.

Like I said from early on. It would be SO EASY to code an HTML save. But, of course, that would be entirely terrible.

Now y'all can start all over again, thinking up new reasons why Sigil should NEVER SAVE the HTML - why the status quo is so very much better than saving it. If it had been saved it probably would not have gone down the tubes with the EPUB and I wouldn't have to start all over again.

Oh, but I forgot. IT'S FREE!!!! So everything's A-OK. No problem here! My mistake!
