Which leads me to think, that an epub manual might not be the best way to do it. Of course it's awesome to make the manual with Sigil itself - but some sort of "collaborative manual", if such and animal exists - a wiki-like thingie or something might be a better solution (which otoh also could end up in a mess without some coordination/moderation ...)
Well, just a thought.

Actually, a wiki isn't a bad idea.
Four or so years ago, I used Sigil pretty end-to-end, although, much like you, my "HTML" came from NoteTabPro, via clips+elbow grease. I don't use Sigil very much now at all, just quickies, like, "oh, so and so screwed up this text," and fixing it PDQ. I'm the paper-pusher now. (bummer).
But a wiki--something easily collaborative--MIGHT be a really good idea.
FWIW, I'm still able to tweak this or that, if your spelling or grammar or writing skills are something you (any of youse, not Kim-you) are want fixed-up.
