I don't think I have been making myself clear. I certainly would never advocate or use buttons to change alignment in "bulk" (multiple paragraphs) in body text and clearly I use CSS for 99.995% of all alignment. However, it is occasionally very handy to use a button to, for example, quickly center (or otherwise) something like a headline, or a company name, whatever, sitting in between paragraphs in a novel. If you have an existing class that has all the characteristics you want OTHER than the alignment, it saves defining a new class or typing in the style:align coding. (Sigil's buttons override the class alignment, if any.) The insertion point is pretty straightforward, surely, as you would only be using a button to align an entire selected line/block of text. I can't see how that's sloppy or how it encourages sloppy coding, personally.

Anyway, thanks everyone. I have learned to differentiate between simple inline and other codes -- something I hadn't thought of before since I define characteristics for italics etc. in my CSS.
