Thanks, Mr Exaltedwombat, but how do I launch the coded text you sent, using Sigil, so that it becomes a readable ePub? I copied it into the editing window (Codes View) and then saved the ePub file. But this must be wrong because I simply got the same coded text back on my eReader. It would be helpful to me to know how to use your coded text and/or to see the ePub you produce with it yourself.

I now have a fairly "fancy" ePub produced with Sigil, without touching encoded HTML. HTML codes and Codes View I have not studied yet. I used writer2ePub as in-between ePub editor to create certain .xhtml's. The experiment reads well on my Sony eReader.

It would be interesting to me to get your analysis of where the problems lurk, the problems that I cannot see on my Sony eReader. However, it seems from the other comments here that submitting such an experimental ePub is not tolerated in this forum.
