0.6 best way to insert hyperlinks?? - Page 2

kiwidude · 11-21-2012, 07:30 AM

@phossler - yes in Sigil 0.6 I intentionally changed it to split "at the point of the cursor" in both Book View and Code View. There were several issues this fixed - the most annoying of which was that if your split point happened to be a paragraph with a trailing <br/> tag (which you cannot detect in BV) then Sigil would create a brand new split page with no body content in it, which was *really* annoying. It also helps if you have a rubbish PDF conversion and have a word like "Chapter" appended at the end of a preceding paragraph - just place your cursor before the C and job done. Along with several other fixes to do with preventing cruft and preserving styles amongst other things it definitely falls in the the "better" camp imo.

I have a fix for the "links not updating after a book view split" issue which will be in the 0.6.1 release.

1. Cursor split - just caught me by surprise is all. I just have to break a habit (hard to do at my age)

2. BV href fix -- great. IMHO for me BV is easier to do a lot of things

3. Thanks for a great program
