Fixed Layout.

Hello.

I am new Sigil Software user. When i used Sigil ePub editor, i show that it dont shows fixed layout epubs correctly. Is Sigil supports Fixed Layout epubs?

No. It does not currently support Fixed Layout. It is a goal, though.

You can certainly use Sigil to create/edit a fixed layout epubs - or any other editor for that matter - but Preview's viewpane would have to be manually sized and no dual page layout will be shown. BookView would probably be in even worse shape.

You would need to use an external e-reader that supports fixed layout in order to see if what you have typed makes any sense.
