I was a bit intimidated to use Sigil since I know next to nothing about HTML coding but I love it so far.

I have a few questions that hopefully someone can walk me through. Since I'm new to this, I think there are only three things that I would want to be able to do. Perhaps they are more complicated then I think but here are my questions.

Q1: Is there anyway of removing lines between paragraphs or is this some sort of standard?

<Never mind. I was copying and pasting from a word document and replacing the paragraph marks with manual page breaks fixed this>

Q2: I'm also trying to make a table of contents. The text in the book is

Chapter 1
Blah

I got a TOC working and displaying this in adobe digital editions it shows Chapter 1 with a + sign. Once I click on the + sign it then displays the word blah. Is there anyway to make the actual Table of Contents show "Chapter 1: Blah" instead of splitting the 2nd line into a "sublink"?

<Never mind as well. Decided to choose the same heading for both the "Chapter 1" and "Blah" fixed this. I initially wanted "Chapter 1" and "Blah" to be different font sizes but I guess it can be coded in. Just got to figure out how>

Q3: How do you add margins to the text?

Many thanks and great program.
