Old switch views buttons with newer versions?

Pocok · 03-06-2024, 05:59 PM

Hey there,

I remember seeing these two buttons at the top part of the toolbar in older releases (0.9 and so forth):

that allowed instantaneous switch between the code editing and the preview windows.

I know nowadays both of them are separately available, but I liked that aspect when you typed some text into the preview window part, the program automatically convert it into proper html code with <p>, <i> and whatnot included.

Can this functionality be brought back or it was never gone and I'm just blind and can't find it personally?

Thank you!

What I think you are looking for is PageEdit which I launch from the external Xhtml editor button. The old BookView had the nasty habit of generating garbage code and I gave up on using it for that reason. For the most part, I have the Preview pane open on one monitor and Sigil on the other so I can see any changes I made in the code reflected immediately in the preview pane.

Most likely yes, that would be the PageEdit button. Let me download/set it up and I'll signal back how it went!

Yes, it was the PageEditor external xhtml program, thank you!
