Good morning, all. I was working with Sigil 0.9.10, and I noticed something new. I've often clicked on the stylesheet in the Book Browser window, sending it to W3C for a checkout. I'll get back to that here in a minute.

But today, as I went to run a report, I accidentally clicked on "Validate Stylesheets with W3C" instead, and I noticed that besides sending the stylesheet for verification, a second tab opened that showed me the verification status of the text area as well. (I'm happy to say that it came up clean!)

But I wonder if it would be more accurate to change the menu item to read "Validate e-book with W3C" instead.

Now, back to the verification of the stylesheet. Whenever using this function, it always comes back bellyachin' about the external fonts I have in my stylesheet, stating that "font-family" (and several aspects of the same vein) don't exist in level 2.1. But when I go to W3C's validation menu and resend the e-book from there, it re-checks it at level 3 and comes back clean. So I'm wondering--am I pushing my e-books (as I'm creating them) past acceptable limits by including embedded fonts--should I instead be creating level 3 books to accomplish what I'm looking for? Or would it be better for the menu item to instead send it for checking at level 3 (if that's driven from there)?

Thanks in advance!
