(Part of my problem is I have been doing some HTML5/CSS3 stuff at work, then when trying to convert these files to epub I found some tags that actually said "<chapter>", and "<footnote>" and "<dedication>", then I learned it was for the DocText system and not compatible with xHTML. So I am in "tag hell" at the moment and need a basic ePub cheat sheet that just focuses on the content markup. ).
Those are supported in ePub 3 so you are just ahead of the curve . To maintain almost CSS compatibility I would suggest you change them to something like:
<chapter> to <h2 class="chapter">
<footnote> to <p class="footnote">
<dedication to <p class="dedication">
etc.
This will make the CSS changes easy and match the look of the ePub 3 book. This can be done using a simple search and replace in a text editor. Sigil will fix the trailing tags when you add it in.
