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.
