I've already received appreciated links on where to learn how to code HTML. (Note my excellent choice of the word "code".) It seems I also need links to learn what DRM is. (Or was it DMR? I can't go back to check without losing this "Reply to Thread" page ...)
The point is, I have a lifetime of producing all kinds of documents behind me: educational readers, also desktop publications (books, paper publications, based on documents and desktop publishing). I produced newsletters and journals distributed online to a specific readership. That's how I came to know PagePlus. And so forth. None of this required the level of technical knowledge an eBook creator clearly needs to have. I bow to the technical expertise here. Really, I'm impressed.
Mr. Exaltedwombat, I've been warned very sternly here not to use .xhtml's (with associated pictures etc) from ePubs produced by other programs such as word processors. This is really what this whole thread is about: "bagging" a handy .xhtml produced by for instance writer2epub and adding it to Sigil.
From what you wrote, I now gather that it may be done. But then you need to inspect the .xhtml (and its associated files) with knowledge of HTML coding. Otherwise you will be digging a hole for yourself.
You have to follow the narrow road to HTLM heaven, not the wide road, grabbing a free lunch here and there, as I was warned in a moving sermon a few postings ago. Have I seen the light now? I confess to my cluelessness and I really mean to learn to code HTML asap. And thanks for all the responses! Its fun.
