It would imply that the fundamental feature of the editor is so broken as to make the entire editor completely and utterly worthless. Can't imagine how that would've slipped by all our notices.



My background is white, I think that is the default. In any event, you could go to Preferences ==> Editor settings and choose several different color schemes, or even write your own.



I cannot say I use marked text a lot at all, but looking in Sigil, I see marking text will automatically switch the S&R mode to "Marked text". And calibre does the same.

You do not need to mark more text, in order to remove the old mark. Simply select nothing and re-mark it. It will unmark the text currently marked. That I think is a bug:

Sigil automatically senses when text has been marked and no other text has been highlighted, and changes the label to "Unmark Marked Text". calibre should also have an indicator that it is doing that. In the meantime, you could just pretend that is what the words say, and do it anyway.

EDIT: This has been fixed.



Fair enough. Clips are indeed something calibre noticeably still lacks. There are third-party paste managers that could duplicate the effects if you really want to use calibre but also need clips.

But if Sigil works for you and you need clips then by all means stick with Sigil.

It is your choice, and both are valid choices. Just don't say:
calibre is doing something it isn't in fact doing
or isn't doing something that it is in fact doing.
First, I wouldn't have said anything about Calibre if you hadn't brought it up.

When I fist opened the program, the editing area background was blue and the preview white. Okay, it can be changed? Fine. I was just giving it a try, not setting up house.

The Link style sheet gave me just what I said.

In New file I put Text/okey.xhtml. Afterwards, it occurred to me that perhaps I should have put Text/okey.html.

That's all I have to say on Calibre. I told you what I did and what I got. I didn't lie. Why the heck would I lie? I don't care enough.
