Error when trying to upload file into Sigil

"I'll just mention that I just had this problem even with Mend on.
The problem was a ";" in the file name and in an h1 tag...
Sounds like a bug."

Perhaps you had spaces in your input html file name - you will get an error in Epubcheck with that. Spaces are not allowed in file names in epub zip format, which still follows the old fashioned rules for file names.Try removing the spaces or just use underscores.

A good rule for life in general

Thank you very much for mentioning those add-ons. This project does not come close to touching Word, but I'll try to keep those in mind if I do something from Word at some future stage. (I guess I'd have to motivate myself to write some kind of book, or just help someone with that?…)

Doesn't come close to "touching" Word? I think you misunderstand the purpose and intent. This isn't a word processor. It's not meant to be. It's a program/app for those who are going to build eBooks.

They work complementarily. Neither is a replacement for the other and that's not the intent. If you are seeking a word processor that's "like Word" that can make eBooks (with less emphasis on clean, viable code), you can spend $45 for Atlantis WP, or Jutoh.
