Usually when starting with a Project Gutenberg text file, I open it with Word 2003, correct spelling, etc., enter the html tags, and save it as a utf-8 text. I then open it with Notepad++ and save it as an html file. Finally, I open it with Sigil 0.1.9 and save as epub. Sigil has automatically split all the chapters for the epub so when I open it with Sigil 0.2.0 all the files are present.
If I open the html file with Sigil 0.2.0 then save it as epub, when I close and reopen it, the html file has not be split into chapters, style sheets, etc. and the html file is the only file present. It is not a proper epub, and on reopening it with Sigil 0.1.9 I find that the styles have been deleted. With Sigil 0.2.0 I must somehow split the file into chapters, style sheet, images, etc. - but how do I do this? How do I even know what files are necessary?
As a dedicated Sigil 0.1.9 user, it appears on first use that Sigil has lost the advantage it had with the simple interface of the previous version, and now there is only a small advantage to using Sigil compared to simply starting from scratch with an html file, splitting it manually into the proper files, and zipping the final result.
