I tend to do point-by-point answers (I absorbed this style from online debates where opponents must be DESTROYED). See you in a week!

Regex is a HUGE help with editing EPUBs and helping catch mistakes/inconsistencies.

In Sigil, there is the "Saved Searches" window, which allows you to save commonly used Searches/Regex, and allows you to load/run them very easily:

May I ask what you are working from? Or are you just tweaking a book that you purchased/found?

If you are working directly from a digital source (.txt, .doc, .odt, HTML, ...), of course it will be about a million times easier to create an EPUB.

Most of my work is done going from (dreaded) PDF -> EPUB, so I have a bunch of Regex to catch common OCR mistakes + helping speed up my entire process.

In Sigil, I also tend to use the Spellchecking window (I requested the feature in Sigil, and it is FANTASTIC): http://web.sigil.googlecode.com/git/...pellcheck.html

If you need any more help/examples/whatever, just let me know. Everything I do for work is CC3.0 (Creative Commons 3.0), and all my EPUBs (mostly non-fiction economics books) are available to everyone.
