And if I rewrite it, it will have NO error checking.

It has a viewer to view a file. It displays just what it gets; if something's wrong, it's usually fairly obvious where it is. Every now and then I run it through the idpf validator and fix any errors that pop up.

I'm not as hung up on errors as Sigil seems to be. I'm trying to put a book together. I'm concerned with typos, spelling, grammar, and "could that be written better?" When I get it all put together, I run it thru the validator until I've swatted all the bugs. Then I run thru a final proofread and correct content and style errors, then back to the validator. If there are any errors, I'm going to find them somewhere along the line.
