Yeah, I got away from Calibre a few months ago, because it changed my css file (like the added display:block stuff). I also tried Sigil, but I decided I will do EVERYTHING on my own, meaning: I am only using Notepad ++ ... well, not 100%. I also use a small program that splits the xhtml file in smaller parts (based on chapters) and a small program to pack the files to epub. But I do all the stuff like content.opf and toc.ncx just with Notepad ++. I know it is tedious, but therefore I know everything is 100% the way I want. And it makes it easier to change some things, if I have to. Oh, but just in case, you are thinking about possible errors while editing the epub files: I use an epub checker, to make sure that the epub is valid.

The thing why I mentioned Calibre is: of course, I unpacked some of the Calibre epubs and looked at the different files, to learn some things. That's how I discovered the display: block stuff. I wasn't sure, if I can get an advantage from it or not - but I guess, I can keep my css like it is right now (without the display: block)

Thanks again.
