Hunh? I don't understand why you think that the CSS text in Sigil or Calibre will "interfear [sic] with the creativity of writing." This makes it sound as if you are drafting in Sigil (or Calibre). As you are not a coder, this is a crap idea. Just write along in Word. If you are smart enough to use Sigil, you can use Word correctly, and generate fairly clean output HTML. Use Word's built in styles faithfully--changing them via the modify option, to whatever you want them to appear as--and you'll be perfectly fine. Output the HTML, and bob's-yer-uncle.

Absolutely, There hasn't been a reason to use the bull code for years. Hell, there wasn't any reason to use it in 2009, if memory serves.
