So why do you need to use prettify more than once or twice.

I do a lot of rewriting in Code View. There's one book I take with me to Aspen every December. I ski from nine to noon or one, then update the book in the afternoons. I suppose that long ago I should have updated the original word processor version, but I didn't; I found it easier to work directly in Sigil, and now it's not worthwhile going back to the Word doc.
And sometimes I'll open up WordStar to quick draft a paragraph or two, and paste that in, code-free. (I have clips to add the code.) So it can look pretty ragged on the screen, and I don't like ragged stuff. Prettify does a great job of prettifying, tee hee. By this time I have what amounts to a tic, going Flight Crew / Prettify / Save every ten or fifteen minutes, plus Save a Copy every hour. And all the time, Florencia is chattering in Argie Spanish to her buddies on the phone....
