I tested it last night and after I changed the date format at line 13 it worked well. I will certainly be using it.

One minor point. I have problems seing some colours, especially yellow. Could you change the highlighting of the styles to cyan or green and repost.

Thanks

"date format at line 13" ???? What's this ? If you are talking about the date in the "FindScratchpad"-Function, you're right, i gave it a more international shape...

And now you can give the highlighting any ugly color you want , i built in a user-interface to define the colors....

Thanks very much. That will make it easier on my eyes. I have been using the spreadsheet all afternoon. I find it very useful!

FWIW, I tried it in LibreOffice v. 3.5.3.2, but it fails with an error

"BASIC syntax error. Symbol expected" at this code (among several):
Code:
Rem Attribute VBA_ModuleType=VBAModule
Option VBASupport 1
Option Explicit
 Type file       <=== error at this line
  name As String
  size As Long
 End Type
and as far as I can tell, the syntax is right. Needless to say, I'm not much of an OO Basic or VBA programmer.

You can be sure that the syntax is right - from the point of view of Excel.

Maybe LO doesn't support user defined types.

But the more probale reason is that it collides with the reserved names of LO. Replace "file" with "datei" (or "ficher" ) in the "Type" and in the "Dim" - declaration and see if it works.

According to a couple of OpenOffice (Not LibreOffice, but still...) message boards I ran across, it does support user defined types, and with that same syntax.

I tried this also (changed it to my_file), but got the same error.

I also wondered if the actual error (from LO's point of view) occurred earlier in the module, and the line it indicated was merely where the interpreter realized there was an error, not the actual error itself. But messing with the two lines above the type declaration did not help either. Oh, well.

I got an old OO3.3 and a machine (even older) an had a look on that.

You're right, but looked into the wrong direction
It's the variable "name" (the first of each Type), which hurts.

I'll fix that for the next release, but the next problem will be to replace the "Get" somehow. In MSO, it reads the whole file into a string, in OO it's unknown (Maybe not in LO). That's probably not fixed with a simple replace...

Just a side-note... I'd be interested in the reverse of this idea as well: finding orphaned classes assigned to elements in the xhtml that aren't represented in the stylesheet.
+1 for orphaned classes. To me, THAT idea is far more important than deleted unused styles from a ss.

Sounds indeed very useful too. Any idea on how to implement it?

What would be the generic search strings to look for these elements in the xhtml files?

Well...the iterations would be fairly massive, I'd think.

I mean, you'd have to (I don't program, so--those with real brains, leap in) aggregate ALL the styles and elements; probably doing so from the top-down, so most-used to least-used makes the most sense; search for all instances of "p," first, and then all classes used in the ePUB--and then do a string-match in the CSS...does that sound right, ye olden programmers? I mean, it seems more efficient to do it by element and then by class, but sometimes, what seems elementary (sorry, sorry, you guys KNOW I can't resist bad punnage!) isn't.

We use something SOMEWHAT like this in two places; we have a PERL script and an NTPro script that both check for this--but it's in the HTML. I don't know how we'd adopt it to run inside Sigil, unless we took the additional steps of copying the file, merging it, and exploding it, but even so...it would be a SLICK addition in Sigil. I would infinitely rather the "used in the ePUB but not in the stylesheet" functionality than simply cleaning up the Stylesheet. I know some folks need that--and it would be nice fudge topping--but it's not as needed as the inverse. We have a House CSS that we use, so cleanup isn't as important for us, in the CSS itself...but I think everyone would love the missing classes thing.

JMHO,
Hitch

It sounds like it should not be too hard to combine the two to find classes that do not exist in the CSS and CSS classes that do not exist in the XML.

A popular class used is <body class="text"> where text does not exist in the CSS. Also, dived classes are used at the beginning of a chapter that have no CSS style. I tend to remove the divs that div for the chapter title and then div for the body. No need of them at all.

Why? They don't break any ePub rules.

Validation tools should stick to spec stuff... not stuff that simply annoys some of us more obsessive/compulsive coders out there.

XML doesn't allow orphaned classes. So yes, it does break the XML rules and thus breaks the ePub rules. But, unused styles are not breaking anything.
