Yet another newbie question re, stylesheets. What I'm not understanding is how to create and make use of a stylesheet. Although very experienced in other aspects of computing, this is my first attempt at html / stylesheets, etc. What I'm not getting is the logic behind it all. I've tried working through w3schools tutorials but they are geared to making web pages, not ebooks.
What I have done so far is create a document in Libre Office using as little formatting as possible.
Then save that as an .html file.
Then open that in Sigil.
This story contains some short poems that I want single spaced. Seems everything in Sigil is doublespaced. The only way I've manged to accomplish this is to go into code view and change the tags 'by hand'.
Sigil shows a folder called 'Styles' on the left panel. It is empty. An option to 'add blank stylesheet. Logically, it seems I would do that and type in the html code that would make the poems single spaced. Then somehow, make that code show up only where I want the lines single spaced.
So, is it normal that when you create a doc and open it in Sigil that there is no stylesheet?
Do I create that stylesheet in something like notepad and import it?
Or using Sigil's option to create a blank stylesheet?
Please feel free to correct me where I'm using the wrong wording or logic. You can refer to my post on single space here:
