The only problem that I occasionally encounter is:

Over the years I have become familiar enough with Html and CSS so I can handle most problems in the text and CSS files

Thankfully I only occasionally get problems with the OPF when I run ePubCheck.

A couple of simple problems are when there are lines relating to an embedded font that is no longer embedded. There is also part of a line (usually first one) that relates to Calibre, which unfortunately ePubCheck does not like. These are problems are easy sorted as I can manually delete them

Unfortunately if I hit ePubCheck errors in the OPF, I am insufficiently familiar with what should be in the OPF, that I cannot identify what is specifically wrong.

I cannot remember what these other problems are specifically. My old computer died and I have been offline for a couple of weeks and have been taking a holiday from editing ePubs for a few weeks longer.

In these cases I cannot identify the actual problem and end up doing an ePub to ePub conversion in Calibre, which usually fixes things.

I would like to avoid this which is why I was interested in the plugin

If it would help I will document any future problems.

Alternatively it would acceptable if you added a magic button to Sigil which automatically fixes all errors in the ePub .
