CSS link keeps changing
I have used sigil before to edit epub after running through Smashwords meatgrinder, but the first time I am making my own.
I am running the newst version of Sigil. 0.9.9 on windows 10. I can't link to my CSS file. i paste the link between <title></title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../Styles/Style0001.css" /> And it changes it to this after I save. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../Styles/Style0001.css" /> every time, every chapter. |

It thinks you are trying to paste text that you want people to read thus the need to escape the text.
What source did you copy the string that you pasted? Re you trying to paste in Bookview by any chance and not Codeview? What happens when you use the link stylesheets commands in Sigil? |

You mean inside the head tags not title right? You can not paste a lnk tag inside a title tag. You should be pasting the link tag inside the head tag but not inside the title tag (ie after it)

The title of the book goes between <title<</title>. See the following correct header code.
Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops"> <head> <title>Name of book</title> <link href="../Styles/Style0001.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> </head> <body> |

I'm in code view.
it was doing it even if I pasted the whole thing as a big chapter then used the "split at cursor" option. I'll try the link style sheet. I didn't know that was an option. If I can figure it out. |

Link stylesheet from context menu. It will be fine.
