Your English is really quite good. Please don't apologize. Of course, you want to know how the book looks, and I understand why you don't want to use Sigil's Preview mode. You can use ADE, that's not a problem. I believe, from your next paragraph, that you misunderstood my meaning. Not to worry.

What do you mean when you're saying ADE is a cheat? Don't many people use ADE as library and transfering epubs to their ereader?

Just what Peter said. What I was referring to is trying to use "enter-enter-enter" or "break" to make vertical space.

You can learn how to do that, using CSS, very, very easily, I promise. It's one of the very first things that I learned ho to do, when I was first putting my toes into the waters of learning how to make "EPUB" like the Big Kids. (I started out making MOBI/PRC files, using the old MobiPocketCreator program, which is like...Kindergarten, if you know that term?, compared to HighSchool, [for ePUB] in the eBook world. When I first started coming to MobileRead, I was so intimidated by all the programmers and stuff. Psssst, don't tell them I said that. :-)
