DUCKY!!!
Methinks this now has ventured so far away from the realm of Sigil that it needs a more...deserving...platform. Like the Workshop or the ePUB forum. Or the "PagePlus X6 is wondrous" forum, wherever that may be.
FWIW, ecbritz, Apple's Pages program also produces exported ePUBs. As does InDesign. As do a number of other programs. And, hey! So does AbbyyFineReader, which outputs cruft by the handful. And you can export a PDF to HTML with Adobe Acrobat Pro X or XI, also: utter garbage.
No. Free. Lunch.
In print, what mattered was, what the output LOOKED like. In digital format, what matters is, how clean the code is, so that various devices can RENDER it correctly, because the output does not look the same on every device, nor at every font size, nor every screen. You don't "own" what it looks like NOW. This ain't print, and it ain't PDF.
