Using the git command line in the sigil-user-guide repository, git status shows me 4 files have been modified: - the saved-searches-find-replace-context-menu.png file (binary diffs not shown)
- the content.opf file
- the tutorial_find_replace.xhtml file
- the tutorial_regex_reference.xhtml file
git diff shows me the very minimal changes to those two xhtml files and the content.opf file that I would expect.
My first question would be which platform (Windows, Linux, macOS) are you using to do this?
My second would be how exactly are you making theses edits? Are you manually editing in Sigil's Code View, or are you using external editing tools? Are you making the simple edits your diffs show, or are you copy/pasting larger swathes of code (or possibly whole file contents)? Are you copy/pasting anything into the sigil-user-guide repository at a file system level, or is everything being done from within Sigil?
P.S. I did a Mend & Prettify on the entire epub just as a test and the results were no different. |
Sounds like you got my procedure correct. Before starting, I upgraded the FolderIn/FolderOut plugins to the latest available.
For your first question: I did this editing using linux UbuntuStudio 26.04 LTS with Sigil 2.8.1 (Sigil-2.8.1-x86_64.AppImage).
Second q: mostly manual editing, typing by hand into Code View just the minor amount of edits you saw, with two exceptions.
First, in the file 'tutorial_advanced_find.xhtml', I copied the link for the Regular Expression Reference from the para at line 21, pasted it into a new para at new line 110 and then edited the para text by hand in Code View.
The second exception was in the file 'tutorial_regex_reference.xhtml' where I cut an item from the list of Multiple Characters and pasted it into the list higher up of Single Characters.
I never copy/pasted anything from outside the document. Nor did I use any external editing tools. All was done inside Sigil. And I never copy/pasted anything into the repository at file system level.
