I am working on a Chapter that contains Navigation elements (They do work properly in Sigil book view). If I click and the tab was not present, it opens.. Now the index is wrong. It is just convenient to know the next place to go if the navigation element is not used for the next page. Not a show stopper if it was not easy to do |

If you want those style rules in a separate CSS file:
Already on the tracker. Although I still wonder why you people care whether the extension is htm, html, xhtml or whatever. Your Reading System doesn't care, and no one will be able to even see those files when you make an epub. |

So it sounds like I'll need to move the css code to a new css file before splitting the file, thats fine with me. BTW, I'm still working my way through learning XHTML, so what does a link element look like? As to having all the text content files with the same extention, I suppose it's a lot to do with keeping things "neat and tidy". Also if you are not that experienced with book creation (as a lot of users of Sigil will be, because Sigil makes knowing how a book is created redundent due to its doing the hard work for you), you might be a bit concerned that you have one HTML (of HTM) file and lots of XHTML files and worried that you might be doing something wrong. |

Awesome release thanks Valloric.
Have a couple questions - I created an epub using Adobe InDesign CS4 that opens in Digital Editions with table of contents entries. However, those are lost when opening in Sigil. Is there something I can do to preserve those? The epub file contains only 1 xhtml file now, so it's pulling the TOC from a style created in the Indesign document. I wonder if that is the problem. Would it be possible to break the 1 xhtml file into separate files based on a class defined in the CSS (maybe through a find/change)? What about having TOC entires appear based on a predefined css style? Thanks for any assistance. Mike |

Sounds like a nice idea, could be possible to do in the future. Something like this could be integrated in the direct NCX editing feature I have in mind. Add a feature request on the tracker. |

Thanks for the reply. I guess I was hoping to get around having to create each chapter as it's own document in InDesign (as the file I have now is simply 1 file), but it seems I'll need to do it if I want the TOC preserved.
I noticed that I can apply a heading to an entry and it will then appear in the TOC. I'll put in a feature request that there be a drop down box for CSS styles and that the CSS styles can be mapped to the TOC. Thanks for all the hard work on this. |

I much prefer the 0.2.0 design, so congratulations!
Do you have any plans to support tiling of tabbed windows? I tend to work a lot in the stylesheet--it would be good to have that and the target file (in split view) visible at the same time. Then using a "refresh" you could easily see the effects of the stylesheet changes. By the way, at the moment I'm not sure how best to get changes in the stylesheet to take effect. Closing and opening a tab always works, but is not instant. Saving (when the stylesheet is active) sometimes works, but not always. Do we need a "refresh" option (F5)? I like your VS type interface--VS 2008 is my epub editor at the moment, but I can see Sigil will soon replace it. The one thing holding me back at the moment is the lack of search & replace across files (Ctrl+Shift+H)--pretty please! Some minor things: How about Ctrl+F4 to close the active tab? I suppose would be part of a normal "Window" menu, so you can select the tabs, tile, cascade, etc using the keyboard (and/or mouse). Also Find will not find "CHAPTER" in book view given the following partial html: Code:
<body class="text sgc-1"> <div class="chapter" id="ch18"> <div class="chapterHead"> <h2 class="chapterNumber" id="calibre_pb_44"><span class="bold">CHAPTER 18</span></h2> </div> Last edited by ShellShock; 03-05-2010 at 02:10 PM. |

Add it to the tracker, but bear in mind it will probably be a while before I can get to it. Quote:
There's code that checks whether any linked CSS files have changed when the chapter tab regains focus and that then refreshes the tab. It should work, and if it doesn't, that's a bug. Try to make it repeatable and add it to the tracker. I've thought about a "Refresh" option for chapter tabs, but that's just admitting defeat. The tab should know when it needs refreshing, the user shouldn't have to tell it. Quote:

a question : last night when i tried to edit the toc the changes wouldn't "stick". i edited the titles directly in the toc but when i closed it and came back to it (or saved the file) the changes had not been applied ; neither changes to titles, nor changes to "include / don't include" list (checkboxes). this works in sigil 0.1.* versions. bug ? another question : i see sigil 0.2 now supports fonts. this overjoys me, you can imagine. however, i cannot for the life of me figure out how to add them through the interface. i tried dragging the files onto the sigil file navigator, no joy. and i didn't find an "import" command in the menus. if i created a "Fonts" folder directly in the epub, sigil didn't see it and add the files. i had to manually add the files to the epub and *also* to the .opf ; after that, they were recognised. is this feature not finished, or am i missing something really obvious ? either way, thank you SO MUCH for adding it ! the book i was working on, The Professor and the Madman (i bought the mobi version since no epub was available, and it came out of calibre thoroughly mangled, i was absolutely horrified when i looked at the code ), uses a LOT of special characters to show phonetic pronunciation ; if i don't embed a font supporting these characters, the book becomes partially unreadable. |

Yes, I need to start writing some documentation. I plan on starting very soon. And font embedding will be officially supported when I figure out a way to query the system for the font files installed (plus some QtWebKit support). The user should be able to have a font drop-down box like in Word, only with just a "<add new font>" option for epubs with no fonts. Selecting that option would open a standard font selection dialog for the OS, and selecting a font should make Sigil pull it out of the system (and any font variants present, like bold, italic etc.), add it to the epub file and attach the required CSS to the file and the current selection. But that will have to wait until QtWebKit supports font variants. Currently it won't display italic or bold, only the regular. In 0.2.0 I've made it easier to do this by hand, but that's far from ideal. |
