For those interested ...
Here is a list of possible To-Do items for future Sigil releases.
Under consideration for future Sigil releases
- - Add Indicator in Status Bar if epub in old Sigil "Standard Format"
- - Add some form of templating supported for HTML TOC and Index generation (but maybe better by plugin)
- - Multiple paragraph justification setting via the CV alignment icon (although PageEdit does this now)
- - Add a regex to be used to build TOC when no headings tags exist (considering but this is against accessibility)
- - Add GetInfo dialog to BookBrowser to add/change Semantics and Manifest Properties on a File
- - Add sorting of Validation results by bookpath and error message
- - Add export of Validation results to csv
- - Update to version 2 of the C regular expression library
- - Add checkbox to limit search replace to be outside tags (and add to Saved Search controls)
- - Add CSSToolbox and GUI to help users create, manipulate, and merge multiple css stylesheets/selectors
- - Update gumbo parser with recent WhatWG changes
- - Add case-sensitivity checkbox for Spellcheck filter
If you have other ideas that you feel would benefit MANY users that would NOT be better as plugins, please let us know.
FYI:
Based on ideas from Tex2002ans, over the last month or so I have been working offline of a CSSToolbox codebase to act as the backbone for a GUI tool to:
- - merge selectors across separate css stylesheets
- - convert script tags into external stylesheets
- - convert inline-styles into an external stylesheet
- - delete selectors from a stylesheet
- - rename class selectors in stylesheet and then updating all html code that uses it
- - strip out a set of properties across all selectors and stylesheets
- - compare two selector property lists to find matching selectors across stylesheets
This is still a long way from fruition but will hopefully help people who work with epubs that have separate but near duplicate css stylesheets (one per chapter) as might be produced by In-Design.
