The 'HTML not well formed' problem occurred with an earlier version (6.1) and was fixed in 6.2. The change from 7.2 to 7.3 brought it back again. Last time it also broke the DOCTYPE declaration on conversion by Calibre, but not this time.
It has to do with the non-breaking space entity [ ] This gets converted to a normal (white)space and then converted back to nbsp by Calibre. Sigil does not like Calibre's version of nbsp. I cannot see any difference between Sigil nbsp and Calibre nbsp, but there seems to be one.
If you hit 'fix manually' you can see this when you try and use 'book view'. If this is the only problem you can let Sigil 'fix automatically' and it works.
I am sticking with 7.2 just in case.
