While going through my mother's papers, after she died, I discovered a folder of her poetry. My wife and I used notepad to transcribe it into digital form. I then used Calibre to convert the TXT file into epub and then edited it with Sigil using the title to create the TOC.

I began the project with some trepidation since I had no knowledge of the inner workings of epub or html, and I thought a style-sheet must have something to do with the fashion world. Since it is fairly logical it wasn't to hard. There are Internet hmtl tutorials, plenty of books you can dissect and a lot of very knowledgeable people on this forum who are willing to help.

Good luck and keep us informed of your progress.
