Used preview on a file and it told me there was an error just before the </body> tag (where most Sigil errors occur,) had to upload the file to W3C to find it. Missing </p>, nowhere near the </body>. As I said, not that helpful.
I've discovered that the p button won't work until I've closed the enclosing blockquote tag. Even the smarty quotes plugin does error checking. That's just obsessive.
Lurking somewhere in all that error checking is a routine that tries to fix the error without asking the user first, and that is what is truncating files. And that is a BUG. To destroy hours, days, or even weeks of work without notice either before or after is simply inexcusable, and I don't care what anyone says about structure, design, blah, blah, blah.
Hopefully, I can finish this one book, and then Sigil goes back on the shelf. Perhaps some can write error-free html on the first pass, but I can't. I leave the error checking to the end (EpubCheck on idpf) just before and after the final proofread.
