The advantage for me of going through MobiCreator and Calibre is that it adds the cover as a cover rather than part of the main file, puts in the pointers for the internal ToC and breaks down the one huge file into several smaller files, which makes cleanup in Sigil much easier.

If I import the html directly into Sigil, it's one huge file and makes the poor program chug.

It sounds like a lot of steps, but it's a process my old brain understands. My total CSS programming experience probably amounts to... oh...four hours? Including analyzing other people's code.

I've been writing html for decades, but only when I needed it. And I'm pretty quick to figure what code is doing...but figuring out just where to put things in CSS is...intrustin'.

And since I'm trying to create a commercial product...I want to make something that all you guys aren't sneering at behind my back!!!!

Ah...pride...
