I'm tired of having to tweak all this minutia, so when Turtle91 suggested an epub template, I was like, Yeah, I'm in.

So I set it up and when I need to (like adding the "AboutTheAuthor" html, which is always the same) add something I'll just copy and paste what I have between <body> and </body> into the template, which is Sigil's defaults. Is that good enough?

Because a while back I went through the heading and changed all the language stuff. Adding this:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-US">

instead of this:

<body lang="en-US" dir="ltr">

Putting an ebook together seems like a quagmire now when it used to be so simple.

Can I just use the template (Sigil's defaults) and be okay? Thanks.
