I know Kevin and DiapDealer don't like these sort of discussions but...

Why?

Firstly, leaving aside the fact that the calibre editor can also edit AZW3 (KF8) files, the calibre editor is just as worthy of being designated as an 'explicit epub editor' as Sigil is.

The Xpath capability found in the calibre editor Toc Editor was created as part of calibre's Conversion capabilities, which predate it's epub editing capabilities by a good number of years. One has to wonder if Kovid would have included the Xpath capability in the calibre editor had it not already existed.

Suggestion #1: read my post 14 and ensuing comments in this thread ==>> italic at end of line... .

Suggestion #2: why don't you ask Kovid where the XPath processing is located in the calibre source, download it, and massage it into a Sigil plugin.

Suggestion #3: There is no reason why, with due care and forethought, you can't use both editors - as I do.
