Please stop judging and answer the questions asked (or don't).

I have been. Though my latest reply stems from a suspicion that there may be basic flaws in the project. Trane seems to have tried making his eBook in Dreamweaver, and is also toying with using HTML5 structures. If the project is a turd, no point in polishing it.

Wow. Those are some conclusions you're jumping to there. I tested DW and didn't like it. I am guessing about a zillion other people have also tested other HTML editors. I'm thinking of embedding a short instructional video clip, which I believe qualifies as HTML5 content but am not sure b/c I am not there yet, so haven't looked into it, and may decide against it which would make looking into it moot.

AFAIC the project is a work in progress until I put it to bed. So while I am in the HTML design/layout stage, I will continue to tweak content as I see fit, when needed. An option Sigil makes exceedingly easy to do.

The feeling I am getting from you is that you are projecting your own early mistakes on to me, assuming I am "where you were" and so "making the same mistakes" you did.

IAC thank you for the constructive advice you've given between the less constructive comments.

Yes, this was my thought...

The HTML contents (tool) creates from the NCX, so I wait till the end for that

Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks very much, Ducks.

No, I worked through a quite different set of early mistakes :-)

Well here's to progress.
