Thank you. I didn't know about the Python plugin mechanism. I also didn't think about the "Mend Source Code" issue. That does get ugly. I'll think about it. Perhaps I'll stick with what I have.

Displaying epub on a website is powerful. I created and ran online courses before I retired, mostly using Moodle and reams of software I wrote myself.

Courseware like Moodle (and all the commercial versions like Blackboard and Desire to Learn) are good at making automatically graded multiple choice tests and in some cases good at connecting to backend grading databases, but courseware is abysmally bad at making online books, as supplementary reading material for online courses. And E-education is where the education industry is heading.

Sigil and online epub, similar to what I've been doing, solves that problem. There is an absolutely enormous untapped market in online education for epub on the web, as the contents of a DIV, so it can be surrounded by requisite courseware navigation.

Mark my words. This market will cascade like a broken dam once it gets going.
