Again you're misunderstanding me or I'm not explaining myself well, probably the latter. I'm not saying Calibre
invents styles. I'm saying the template has some 20 odd styles, regardless of input. So, therefore if you were take a well formed eBook, with far
less styles, the template still has twenty odd entries in the stylesheet upon conversion, some of which are duplicates and can be in the same identical body text, of the same section. Not an issue for a reader conversion at all and makes sense for the core purpose of Calibre but it's not always as convenient as other, cleaner methods, if you do edit and reformat your books regularly. At least that's how I find it and so I try and use other methods. At the end of the day, CSS/HTML is pretty simple and it's not the end of the world and I do use the Calibre Editor too but I wouldn't and didn't ever pass an eBook I was building professionally through it.
