MS Word Table not visible on Sigil
Hi,
I have created tables in MS word and exported this file as an HTML file. When I open the HTML file in Sigil the following is displayed: Table not visible. But If I save it and open the epub-file in online reader like: https://www.ofoct.com/viewer/epub-reader-online.html then the following is displayed: Table is visible. My question: Is it possible to display the Table on Sigil? Or Is there any workarounds to do that? Thank you |

Tables will display fine in Sigil if there's no coding errors (though using tables in epub is absolutely fraught with hazards in general). But no one has a prayer of being able to help you diagnose what might be going wrong without seeing the coding of the html table in question (including any relevant css). The Word part doesn't really matter, only the exported html being added to Sigil does.

Thank you for your quick reply.
Here is the HTML-File: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jL...056AlH35prdCXE I added this HTML-File into Sigil but no error has appeared. If there are errors why is the reader able to display it correctly? Thank you |

I would have been surprised if Sigil had showed that table without issues. The least you need to do is to export/save the .doc(x) file as "filtered web page". And even so, you'll need to polish the .html in order to get a decent epub. Your best bet is to use the Toxaris Word add-in:

That's not "real" xhtml. That's Microsoft's hybrid exported xml nonsense. I have no idea why the online epub reader has chosen to support it, but it's highly unlikely that many epub rendering devices/apps will. You need to export filtered html from Word if you want to have any hope of your code passing any epub validation, let alone work on a multitude of readers/apps.
Sigil doesn't give any errors when adding the file because the code is technically "well formed." That's all Sigil checks for. But that doesn't make it suitable for epub. Run the EpubCheck validator if you want to see all the epub-specific errors generated by your code. Last edited by DiapDealer; 04-09-2019 at 01:02 PM. |

Or Sigil's DOCX Import plugin, or Calibre's DOCX->Epub Conversion, or the Import DOCX feature of the calibre EPUB editor. BR |
