I was editing my book in Sigil, and everything looked good in the preview. When I put the book on my Kobo, chapter titles were missing.

It finally dawned on me that I might have a bad stylesheet, so I ran the stylesheet checker. Sure enough, I set a font height to 1.5, instead of 1.5em.

I understand that different e-pub readers do different things to work with poorly formatted books. But when I am in Sigil, it would be nice if the preview was more strict, not forgiving.

My bad for not running a stylesheet check every time, like I run an e-pub check. But if the preview looked like my Kobo, I would have caught this sooner.
