I tend to like a fairly simple layout. First paragraph in a chapter or after a scene break is non indented, all others are indented as an example. This makes it a bit easier to do the cleanup.

Mostly the same here. I start using Calibre editor to validate and de-fluff (sample chaps and oversized ads, Charis ). I have saved searches to comment out letter-spacing:###; because Kepub mishandles the space (20) and runs words together on my Kobos (I want other Kepub features
) I also remove junk spans that sole purpose is to set font to 1em
for the whole P
Then I use Sigil (I find using the
clips menu to be more
my work style for CSS use. YMMV).
Other uses of each editor vary as to what I see and what I am doing, Not because one is bad, just fits my brain at the time
I stopped trying to make Conversion FIX layout code issues, a long time ago.
A
