But as DiapDealer said, now that you have, "Welcome to the party!".

I have read your earlier post in the other thread. I think I better understand what you are trying to achieve. We would appreciate any real bugs reports you run into that pertain to Sigil, and any bug fixes and or speedups. I doubt Sigil has any plans to change the plugin model to add a live server nor adding mcp supprt. Things like font subsetting that is done only once are better done in plugins.

We found the earlier sigil-modified by chance also. It was also a hostile fork that never reached out to us yet still made official releases. Its code was so out-of-date (still required Qt5Compat lib when Qt will probably start dev of Qt7 within a year or so), broken in many places (pretty-printing of inline tags, no whitespace compression) and even the full emmet spec did not work, while auto-complete was nearly useless because of the short length of most html tags. It also had bugs in its bulk AddExisting work, did not use or duplicated existing code to handle bulk removal, and fixated on drag and drop in the BookBrowser which just complicated that entire code without adding anything over a simple DropTarget region (which is what Sigil eventually did). It also incorporated our existing ePub3-itizer and epub2 converter plugins almost line for line to C++ with no real added benefit over the existing plugins. Plugins are modular by design. It keeps Sigil from getting even more bloated.
