I am completely baffled right now. I have formatting a number of books in SIGIL and never had any issues until today.
My process for formatting in Sigil is this:
1. Copy my document from Word (Office 365)
2. paste into word2cleanhtml. Copy.
3. Paste clean html into Notepad++ into a template created by NotJohn.
4. Save as html and open in Sigil (0.9.9)
Now, my paragraphs *should* look like this:
[INDENT]The dream changed when I changed. When I became. The green grass of the emerald sea decayed and fell to a wasteland, an endless graveyard of what we once were. I stumbled over the others who lay beneath me as I ran, the splinters of their bones opening the soles of my feet.
[INDENT]I was no longer a child. No longer even human. Everything that had once held me together now swarmed: my bones, my skin, my flesh, my blood; I was undone. My hands-that-were-no-longer-hands were empty, my kite gone. I mourned its loss as the pieces of me ran toward the tree at the center of the barren earth.
and instead they look like:
The dream changed when I changed. When I became. The green grass of the emerald sea decayed and fell to a wasteland, an endless graveyard of what we once were. I stumbled over the others who lay beneath me as I ran, the splinters of their bones opening the soles of my feet.
I was no longer a child. No longer even human. Everything that had once held me together now swarmed: my bones, my skin, my flesh, my blood; I was undone. My hands-that-were-no-longer-hands were empty, my kite gone. I mourned its loss as the pieces of me ran toward the tree at the center of the barren earth.
This is despite cleaning the html and using a style sheet. There does not seem to be any errant html in the paragraphs:
<p>
The dream changed when I changed. When I <em>became.</em> The green grass of the emerald sea decayed and fell to a wasteland, an endless graveyard of what we once were. I stumbled over the others who lay beneath me as I ran, the splinters of their bones opening the soles of my feet.</p>
<p>I was no longer a child. No longer even human. Everything that had once held me together now swarmed: my bones, my skin, my flesh, my blood; I was undone. My hands-that-were-no-longer-hands were empty, my kite gone. I mourned its loss as the pieces of me ran toward the tree at the center of the barren earth.</p>
And the .css for p is this:
p {
margin-top:0.0em;
margin-bottom:0.0em;
text-indent:1.5em;
text-align:justify;
}
The start of my doc looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>The Gardener of Man</title>
<link href="../Styles/TSOW.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/>
</head>
<body>
This is so frustrating. I am hoping it's something really obvious that I'm not seeing because I am ill. Honestly, I'd welcome the embarrassment over this bewildered wtf?
Thank you so much in advance!
