I've just opened Sigil for the first time in a while to work on my book and find I can't. Everything is xhtml code. I'm dyslexic and can't work out what I'm seeing or why. Is this because there is no book mode anymore?
If that is the case I don't understand what Sigil is. If I can't edit my book in Sigil why do I need it. I certainly can't read anything in Sigil.
Sorry if this sounds wrong but it's very disturbing for me to find I can't see my book anymore. I saw a mention of some tool to edit with but why would I need Sigil if I can't edit anymore?

Very disturbed to find I had to be in this forum to find out before, that I could no longer work on my book.

Sigil is, and always was, an epub editor.

You need Sigil to edit epubs. Which Sigil still allows you to do.

Sigil's not an ebook reading program.

Again.... you can still edit epubs with Sigil. You can edit the crap out of them.

You can always view your book in Preview (View->Preview or F10). Preview has always been a part of Sigil.

This forum is where all support for Sigil comes from. Always has been. I'm sorry you waited until your world fell apart before you bothered to come.

My advice to you is to install v0.9.14 of Sigil and to live happily ever after with it.

When can we celebrate the twentieth thread "where is bookview"? (Of course with a meaningless topic?)
