After the split, you will need to bulk remove the 'marker'
Not so much. You have no idea just how screwed up the source file is; any bulk removal is likely to run into Problems (I tried to bulk-correct a misspelling and, 45 minutes later, Calibre exited).

I respectfully suggest that whoever designed that icon for the split-via-preview feature is both insane and has far better vision than I do. That is not an intuitive icon... and doing the split from the preview window risks incorrectly splitting other code (like the ends of tables; I did try... after someone pointed this out... and it left a hanging </table> at the top of the file because the source file doesn't have consistent vertical spacing and linebreaks).

So if it's possible to do in the preview editor, I'd like to do it in the code window, too. But I suspect that's not a high priority.
