You'd have to ask in the EPUB forum about the best way to do floating images. Quote:
If your HTML code uses <b></b> for bold, then when you select the text in Book View the B button won't highlight because the <b></b> doesn't match the <span> tag that's defined for the B button. If you change text to bold using the B button, the button is correctly highlighted. |

a tags
First thank you for all work on Sigil. I am pretty attached to it :-)
Second, I noticed that now when clicking on a link within the text in book or preview view (ie. footnote) is sending me to the beginning of the file where the target is not to the target itself. When editing I really need to check if I set all anchors correctly and it would be nice to be ironed in 0.6 version. Last edited by The CB; 06-13-2012 at 05:41 AM. |

5.901 on XP SP3 (john's special build)
I just found a solid, repeatable, horrid bug. I was unwrapping paragraphs: with a very simple: Code:
(?sm)([a-z])</p>\s+<p class="calibre4">([a-z]) and a replace \1 \2 Replace All (current page) and it (frequently) dropped characters in other positions |

Stuff
I finally got around to installing 6.0 and am impressed. I haven't found any faults that have not been found by others. However I have a couple of comments.
I noticed that the "Format" pull-down menu has been removed in favor of buttons. It would be nice to have an option to display buttons or the pull-down menu. This would free up a lot of space and make it easier to find the desired task (you have to hover the mouse to get a button description). Interesting that the buttons zoom with the text. Still on my wish list: I have read about the problems with sincing between code and book views but was wondering if you could get close by keeping a paragraph count? I know this is getting to be old hat but it would be a big help if the font in the F&R window could be increased and perhaps bolded. A font change might be helpful, perhaps Roboto Medium (public domain). Not being able to easily read the F&R data is a large cause of my errors and a major time consumer. This mignt not help a lot of peiple but I don't think it would harm any. Regards - John |

Just to elaborate on this, the Format menu on the old version only applied to Book View. Since all Book View entries are now within the Book View frame, they don't make sense on the main menu.
It is possible to put a dropdown menu on the BV toolbar - in fact the headings are there. There was a format menu for styles in the default CKEditor setup, but it included some odd choices. Its possible to consider putting back a smaller one, but for the most part the buttons cover it. You can add the format dropdown back in, including exactly what you want (and you can even customize the buttons to insert the exact HTML code you want) in CKEditor. The User Guide section on BV contains a brief intro - but you'll have to dig into it a bit more to make it do what you want. I may revisit it again to give a better example, but I just wanted to make sure there was at least a hint of how to start. Unfortunately I never did get it to read in the CSS styles like its supposed to be able to so if anyone does, let me know. |

Split leaves original
Win XP SP3 Beta 901
I take a section that has 3 images. I open a line between , then Sigil Split The original file has 1 Image, the New file TAB has the remains. Split between the remaining image, and the new file has 1 Image. SAVE RELOAD The third file now has the Original configuration (this is not the first time I have seen this effect) |

Is it just me, or did 0.5.901 just silently replace all of my em-dash characters with its html-entity equivalent?
EDIT: Yes... yes, it surely did. Last edited by DiapDealer; 06-16-2012 at 11:57 AM. |

(My personal preference is to (replace) use an Entity for all the common places like: . . . ) It is bad that it does this silently (at least with out an option to 'Don't warn on this again' ) |

I would also prefer the entities to the characters in code view. It would also make it easier to clean up those pesky hyphenation (soft hyphen) character that always turn up as a question mark on the readers.

The reason I like entities is I can see the difference between a minus (-) and a Ndash (–),
There are other visually confusing characters (some are affected by font and stroke): O vs 0 l vs 1 vs | vs / vs I Last edited by Jellby; 06-17-2012 at 03:59 AM. Reason: removed smiley |

It's my preference that whatever is between the > and the </ be considered pretty much mine. Sigil can make decisions concerning everything else and I'll get over/around it, but I want to be the final decider on the content between the tags.
