Well...I mean, if they don't want to see all the HTML tags and gibberish, what on earth WILL they use? In 10 years, and 6,000 quoted files, (yup, Six THOUSAND quotes have gone out of this joint), you know how many files I've seen, that
actually use Styles and Heading? I can tell you right now,
it's fewer than 50. Hell, it
might be fewer than 30, quite seriously. I still see at least 1-2 files EVERY week that have major, serious issues--today, I'm dealing with one where at the end of every paragraph, the typist held down the space key, until it line-wrapped to the next line and started his new block-style paragraph. Yup, used the space bar and there are NO spaces between the block-style paras.
I mean, that doesn't even surprise me any longer. SEEING styles, headings, etc.,
does shock me.
People are spoiled. They want everything to be WYSIWYG and the reality is, there's no such thing for eBooks. Some who've already bothered to learn how to make a word processor work can do their own stuff. Those who don't, can't, and they either publish total garbaged files, or they pay someone else.
