Let's say you accidentally forgot the slash in your closing <p>:

You can't have two <p>s in a row, so Mend corrects it to valid XHTML:

Code:
<p>This is a sentence.</p>
<p>

</p>
What Prettify does is it makes your code look nicer. So let's say you had this:

Code:
<body><p>Sentence 1.</p><p>Sentence 2.</p><p>Sentence 3.</p></body>
It changes it into this:

Code:
<body>
  <p>Sentence 1.</p>

  <p>Sentence 2.</p>

  <p>Sentence 3.</p>
</body>


"Tidy" was in older versions of Sigil. It was what figured out if your HTML was valid or not, and tried to correct it.

Newer versions of Sigil use "Gumbo" instead. Which also checks if you have correct XHTML, but is much more robust (a lot less likely to make things disappear).



Nope, that's the same exact settings I have.



Meh. Not really. You do basic books, so your basic CSS is fine.

Using new stuff in CSS3 wouldn't hurt. Devices that can understand CSS3 will show it, and devices that can't understand CSS3 would just act like it doesn't exist.
Awesome, Tex. Great explanation. Thanks a lot.
