Yes, I'll do it and report asap. Up to now, I am sure Sigil does NOT save on opening and closes (I unticked this in Preferences). It saves the EPUB only when I ask it to do so.

On writer2xhtml options, there is a mysterious line -for me- about named entities. Do you think it could be good to tick it? (see arrow on screenshot).

For better or worse (individuals will have to decide for themselves), Sigil is moving toward NOT making any silent changes to code.
I have already experimented this kind of situation for straight and curled apostrophes. Originally, the spellchecker flagged all the words including a curled apostrophe until I made the point that French users replace systematically straight by curled and that it made the spellchecker unusable for them. Now this question has been beautifully solved, I could not precisely explain how.

So, if we explain slowly the problems this behaviour causes for French (and probably some other languages), maybe we could see appear a Unicode/  option to tick somewhere. One Editor's purpose is primarily to help people and not to make things worse... To lose for good 2 500   precisely placed, is an unpleasant thing...
