Linking to CSS stylesheet
What can I be missing? My stylesheet CSS is not being applied to my HTML file. Inline CSS in the HTML file works fine. See attached screenshot.

The path (href) is incorrect; it's a relative path so it should start with ../Styles/; dot dot goes up, then it goes down into the Styles folder.

The best (easiest) way to link the CSS file is to right click on the html/xhtml file in the Book Browser and from the popup select Link Stylesheets...

That's not necessarily true. The latest versions of Sigil will allow people to create epubs with all files in the same folder (or right at the root of the zip archive) if they so choose. So it could be a valid ebook path.

That's solid advice. No matter the internal structure of the epub happens to be, Link Stylesheets will add it with the correct path.
