The end of the file does not have to be ".xhtml" it is just a convention to show you are following the stricter rule requirements.
It sends the contents of your stylesheet to an online checker to make sure it is correct. Make sure you have the stylesheet selected when you click on the tool. You can select which standard (CSS 2/2.1/3) to check against in General Settings/Validation Tab.
I personally use the CSSValidator plugin instead... It keeps the check local instead of sending it online.
edit: actually not sure that it is required to have the stylesheet selected in bookbrowser first... I think Sigil automatically checks anything on any stylesheet in the book; it doesn't even have to be properly linked to an html file! |
Thanks for clearing things up, Dion. I put the CSS Validator plugin in and with the CSS stylsheet in the bookbrowser it worked fine. Thanks for suggesting it. Question: When I enter an html file (from LibreOffice Writer--they're just chapters in a novel) Sigil formulates the files as .html files. Does going through those .html files and manually adding the "x" to them turn them into .xhtml files?
