So I formatted the HTML to have all the curly quotes and em dashes to be the HTML code named entities but as soon as I do anything at all in the book view, or even just save it, close and open it later, it switches them all back to the quote mark and all my HTML disappears (for named entities)...why? Its getting frustrating.

I've read other threads here and others seem to have no problem having the HTML for named entities so what is going on? I tried downloading the latest version last night and that has done nothing. I have no plug ins loaded...do I need one? (I would have thought using HTML named entities was a basic need for an epub editor...) I may just go back to notepad at this rate. I thought the standard was to use the HTML code....but Sigil really does not seem to want to let me.
