If there's a more complicated way to format (HTML/CSS) eBooks with simple formatting, nobody will do it worse/more complicated then Standard Ebooks.

They feel that they have to use the latest code that doesn't work in a lot of cases. They just don't do it correctly. Some of their CSS doesn't work in ADE and causes the entire CSS to be ignored. It's a right mess.

Lets first hear from others about what they think about the idea of a list of illustrations plugin for Sigil and how it should work if we made one.
As for a plugin to make a list of images, one thing the plugin cannot do is describe the images. That's something you would have to add in by hand to each image. Most eBooks don't have descriptive image names. And if you were to convert KF8 to ePub, if there ever were descriptive image names, they would be lost. So you would have to go through each image and manually put in a description of the image in the list. The easiest way to do it is for the plugin to display each image and allow you to type in the description. The plugin would have to look through the HTML code to see what the order is of the images. I cannot say how easy such a plugin would be to write. It's not a case of make a list of the images and done.
