Plus if you can't edit the html code (as PeterT indicates in post
#12) there's no use. It's more efficient to do proof-reading and fixing formatting in the same process.

I have tried to use sigil for proof-reading but gave it up; there was too much
automatic clean-up that messes with my code. But when 0.6.0 comes out, I hope that this can be turned off completely.
