Using Sigil/Indesign to alter an ebook CSS

Michael Grossman · 06-13-2011, 12:21 PM

Can someone help me. I make changes to the CSS for an ebook in Sigil and then save them and the appear to work. But when I go back and load the book files in Indesign, the changes are gone. Each time I save changes from Indesign, it seems to wipe out my CSS changes made in Sigil. Does that mean that I can only use Sigil after I am complete through creating my epub in Indesign? Or how do I get the Sigil CSS changes to appear in Indesign? Thank you.

I would suggest asking your question in the Sigil Forum, or an Indesign forum. But the problem might be a bit more convoluted than is imagined.

Are you editing an external stylesheet? I would suggest doing this if you aren't.
