Sorry. But Sigil is not going to be promoted as a WYSIWYG epub editor moving forward. Book View will be deprecated (it really already informally is deprecated) and will eventually be removed from Sigil entirely. It's just not worth the trouble it creates.

There are already way too many easy ways to get html/css into Sigil from other specialized, popular, and full-featured WYSIWYG word-processing applications to continue putting band-aids on the hobbled, buggy, crashy and ineffective WYSIWYG editor that is Sigil's Book View.

And as far as neophytes go, there already great tools (stand-alone and add-on) available for producing ePubs without having to understand html/css at all.

An "editable preview" is exactly what Book View already is. And maintaining that editable preview IS the problem/nightmare.
