New Sigil Release: Sigil-0.8.901 - Page 9

Arios · 11-01-2015, 04:11 PM

Kevin, could you also check why SanityCheck does not yell when there is no <p></p> at all in a html file (try it for yourself); here Win HP 64b, Sigil 0.8.901).

KevinH · 11-01-2015, 04:16 PM

Hi Arios,

It will not. It only checks for sanity - ie if the xhtml can actually be parsed and other major things like that. So any parseable xhtml text will pass. It is not a conformance checker like FlightCrew was.

The whole idea with sanity checker is to prevent autocleaning from messing up. You can now quickly detect issues with parsing yourself and hand fix them, if you are worried that autofixing will hurt your code in some way.

Sigil has outsourced all validation checks to plugins like FlightCrew and Doitsu's epubcheck.

Hope this explains things.

Kevin

Hi jugaor,

This bug is now fixed in Sigil master. The fix will appear in the upcoming Sigil-0.9.0.

Thank you for your bug report and test case!

1. I think I've found a serious problem with Pretty Print Gumbo (0.8.901, Win7-x64): it joins contiguous labels, creating false "long" words.
Ex:

Code:

<p><u>Prueba</u> <i>de</i> <b>texto</b> <span class="nosep">junto</span></p>

becames

Code:

<p><u>Prueba</u><i>de</i><b>texto</b><span class="nosep">junto</span></p>

It reads: Pruebadetextojunto.
(Besides the use of deprecated < u > tags

)
BTW, the Google Gumbo-Parser is fine (although I don't want changes to the code --as I understand it is equivalent to the previous HTML Tidy).

2. It's possible maintain two versions of Sigil, with independent Preferences folders? I prefer to keep active the 0.87 Pretty Print Tidy option for the daily work, but launching 0.89 it becomes the now erroneous PPGumbo.

Thank you very much!
(and sorry for my terrible English.)

Arios · 11-01-2015, 04:19 PM

Yes, thank you Kevin and have a nice week.

Any chance to interchange their current presentation order at Preferences window?
By consistence with the former versions (iirc, since 0.6x) = "the first one is less intrusive", many upgraders could think my way

With my above suggestion, this would be "transparent".

Recommendation for now is to exclusively use the Pretty Print Gumbo clean source setting. At least until we move Pretty Print to a plugin (or at least a feature separate from the clean source settings) where it belongs.

Did you mean "Recommendation for now is to exclusively use the Google Gumbo-Parser clean source setting"??

Thank you very much both!

I used Sigil in the past (two years ago), and I want to use it again. At that time, I considered myself fairly adept as a user, but never had any knowledge of its internals, and never expect to have any. I'm wondering if it would be dangerous to download the new 0.8.901 version to play with, alongside (on the same computer) with the most current public release of Sigil (0.8.7 I think)?

I notice that DiapDealer recommends using the "Portable Apps' version of Sigil for the older version, but that doesn't quite give me the confidence I was hoping for. Any more straightforward way of using the newest publicly released standard version of Sigil alongside the newest beta Sigil?

Thanks, -Jeff

KevinH · 11-02-2015, 01:32 PM

The only overlap is with the Sigil.ini file, which is why the Portable Apps version was recommended.

Alternatively, Just wait a week or so and Sigil-0.9.0 should be released and it will not be a pre-release.

JeffPalley · 11-02-2015, 03:04 PM

Kevin,

Thanks,
Jeff

DiapDealer · 11-02-2015, 03:07 PM

Yes. Multiple versions of the official Sigil on the same machine will still share the same Sigi.ini file. And hence the same preferences, the same plugins, and the same plugin configurations/preferences. That's the only reason I suggested the Portable Apps version for one of the versions (the older one in this case): so that they would truly be completely independent of each other. I can't, in good conscience, recommend running two different versions of Sigil that will be writing/accessing the same configuration files on the same machine. That's all. It's not that I don't have confidence in the stability of either version.

I just did a new build of Sigil--Linix Mint 17.2--and had a lot of:

Code:

warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare]

Are they expected?
The build seems to work ok.

eschwartz · 11-03-2015, 12:21 AM

Warnings during compilation are totally normal.

Obviously, more could be done to make the code neater, silencing the warnings, but funnily enough that tends to be a lower priority for people/projects, who prefer working on the functionality.

That's why they're warnings, not errors.

You must never have worked in a hardware/software lab doing government contract work.

I did not remember getting as many warning with my last build.

eschwartz · 11-03-2015, 12:42 AM

I noticed a lot of the warnings were in the gumbo stuff

less time to make that pretty I guess.

And while I can certainly see them (gov't contractors) not focusing on functionality, I find it hard to believe they make up for it by beautifying the code either.

I swear just minutes ago there was a thread here about getting help with updating the Sigil EPUB docs. Does the author still need help with that? I know GIT and EPUB.

What is the forum username of the author anyway? I wanted to say "Thanks for Sigil". It's my preferred Epub editor.
