I would prefer to use only one tool for writing everything, including tables and maths.

Apps like Ulysses, iA Writer, Obsidian, Typora or Zettlr allow me to get really focused when writing, divide my texts in short segments and reorder or connect them as I figure out. None of them support both table and EPUB export.

Now, I have chosen Ulysses because it is the more mature app of the ones I have mentioned.

Edit the appropriate html file and insert a HTML* table. Zip it back up and you've editted an epub. Rename it back to .epub.

Calibre has a book editor that allows you to directly edit the content of an epub without manually renaming and unzipping, etc. Sigil is a program that essentially does the same as the Calibre editor tool. It can be run as a stand-alone program, or you can use it from inside Calibre if you prefer the Sigil editor to the Calibre editor, but still want to use Calibre for its other functionality.

Wow @jmurphy no, I didn't know that. This is what @Karellen was trying to explain to me, but I didn't figure out. You have been very explanatory.

In fact, I have tried exporting the EPUB format from Ulysses to Calibre, selected the file, clicked T and voilà! I have seen the editor. Only two apps involved.

Finally, my table is visible in my Kindle :-)

Very grateful, indeed.

And then just another question . Where can I get a very simple CSS for formatting tables for EPUB?

Many thanks!
