Hi all!

I'm currently working on a ebook project with Sigil. Basically, I'm transcribing the contents of a wiki to make it into a epub for offline reading. The wiki has a large amount of content. Not only are there over 1000 pages in this praticualr iteration, there are also a lot of picture files.

My problem is that my file is now hopelessly bloated to the extent that it takes Sigil 10-15 minutes to open it. It's current size is 113mb. Even accounting for all the pictures files, that's still far to large. A friend has suggested this bloating could be down redundant CSS and code. However, I know little about such things!

My methodology has been very straightforward, literally to the extent that I just copy and paste the web page and rearrange it so that it all sits well.

Is there any advice you could give a Sigil-newbie on helping slim down this file? Any and all are appreciated!
