The Book View editor has already been ripped out and replaced with a different component. Issue's like the OPs are very much the reason the component is being replaced. Any issues with the existing BV editor are a non-issue because it's gone.

Auto save is all well and good but in this case it wouldn't help at all. It probably would have auto saved with the state of not having the heading. A component that properly formats text in BV is a better investment of time at this point.

The OPs issue is he doesn't understand the EPUB format or apparently HTML.

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.
You opened the EPUB, a heading was missing, you tried to fix it using BV and it didn't work. Use undo to revert your changes. Once you've done that switch to CV and add <h1> and </h1> around the heading text.

Having to reload the original HTML from scratch is an asinine solution. The OP even stated that he had stared from a saved copy of the EPUB. If you got so far in that you couldn't undo why not just reopen the EPUB save you started with and again just add 9 characters in CV to add the heading back.

Also, before anyone asks there is no ETA on when 0.6.0 with the new BV is released. It's being worked on and when it's complete there will be a beta then a release.
