Almost all of Sigil’s code has been updated and improved with particular focus on the following areas: Stability: All known crashes and related bugs from previous versions have been identified and fixed – making Sigil completely stable for updating your EPUBs. Robustness: Sigil can correct even more common problems when reading files, and will no longer exit when opening invalid EPUBs. Saving has been enhanced to perform more integrity checks. Splits and merges can now be done exactly where you want without potential data loss. The cursor position is correctly updated when you switch views, and Find & Replaces work consistently and accurately over one or all files. Performance: Sigil is now significantly faster in many areas: opening and changing tabs, generating a TOC, merging files, bulk renaming, replacing text, etc. Flexibility: More preferences, options and features were added to let you use Sigil the way you want. For a detailed list of all the change made to Sigil, see the Changelog. Changes in 0.7.2 include: Add Cover feature (Tool→Add Cover) automatically creates an HTML cover file and sets cover semantics for any image you pick. Search in Marked Text in Find & Replace allowing you to restrict your searches and replaces to specific sections of text. Preview Can Be Zoomed Independently from Book View and Code View. More data can now be read from OPF content files that contain errors. UI Language selection now works for languages containing "_" in their code. EPUBs that don't correctly specify that they contain UTF-8 filenames can now be opened. UTF-16 encoded files can now be opened. Qt has been upgrade to Qt 5.0.2 Changes in 0.7.1 include: Clean Source preferences simplified. Sigil now warns if you are opening or saving invalid HTML when cleaning automatically. Spellcheck allows case-insensitive sorting and remembers sort order. Fixed incorrect wrap when using All HTML Files. New view image feature in Code View to show resizable image. Index entry no long splits on ";", and works correctly for nbsp characters. Find after using Ctrl-F across multiple lines will now match selected text. http://web.sigil.googlecode.com/git/files/OEBPS/Text/whats_new.html[2015-03-15 09:18:35] What’s New Sigil will now open EPUBs containing non-UTF-8 filenames. Clean Source can run automatically on Open or Save, but is no longer run automatically when doing a Replace All (use the Code View right-click context menu Reformat HTML to reformat manually). New features in 0.7.0 include: Qt5: An upgrade to the latest graphics framework provides a number of fixes and enhancements. Audio/Video Support: Insert, play and manage audio and video files. (Requires a compatible ereader to view as audio/video is not supported in EPUB 2). Live Preview: A new Preview window (View→Preview) that dynamically updates as you edit in Code View or in CSS stylesheets – replacing Preview View and the old Split View. Spellcheck Enhancements: See all misspelled words in one dialog. Easily add words to a dictionary or change them in all files. Select one or more active dictionaries to allow combining separate lists of words. Edit TOC: Directly edit the Table Of Contents without having to generate the TOC. Clip Bar and Clips Window: An optional Clip Bar (View→Toolbars→Clip Bar) to show toolbar buttons for the first 20 Clips, and a dockable window (View→Toolbars→Clips) listing all Clips for quick selection. Updated Reports: New reports include All Files, Links, and Characters used in the book. Find & Replace Wrap: Allow searching to wrap or not wrap to the other end of the file or book. Embedded Fonts: Multiple embedded fonts now display correctly thanks to Qt5. Other changes in 0.7.0 include: An Autofill option in Clips that creates entries based on your CSS files. Basic clips (such as <span> or →) can now be used in Book View. Saved Searches will now use the options set in Find & Replaces when run. Metadata Editor can stay open while editing. Index Editor can import tab separated entries. Spellcheck preferences can add lists of words pasted into a dictionary. Generate TOC no longer creates ids when they aren’t used for headings at the top of files. Random highlighting of text in Book View is now, mostly, gone in Book View due to Qt5. Well-Formed checks are only done when absolutely necessary. CSS validation uses CSS 2.1 profile instead of CSS 3 as it’s closer to EPUB 2 standards. Cursor position should not move to the end of a page when a book is saved. Epubs that are missing a container.xml file can now be opened. HTML TOCs and Indexes can use default CSS stylesheets. Book Browser filenames that are long have tooltips showing their names. Table of Contents opens expanded, with tooltips showing their target. Updated internal regex usage to use Qt5 QRegularExpression. Preferences have moved to a new location for Linux users – so Linux users must copy old preference files to the new location. http://web.sigil.googlecode.com/git/files/OEBPS/Text/whats_new.html[2015-03-15 09:18:35] What’s New New features in 0.6.x include: Saved Searches: Never forget a frequently used Find & Replace search again. Edit and organise searches, run a group of searches, and quickly access searches using right-click in the Find & Replace text boxes. Go To Links Or Styles: Quickly jump to the CSS style used for your HTML or to links, and go Back to your starting point. Edit Files Externally: Open your HTML, Image or Stylesheet files with an external editor and Sigil will update your book as soon as you save in the other application. Clip Editor: Store and share common text or formatting. Edit and group clips, apply starting and ending tags to text, and quickly access clips using right-click in Book View or Code View editors. Indexes: Automatically create an Index by marking text or listing phrases to index. HTML Table Of Contents: Convert your TOC into an HTML page. Reports: View details about your files, images, styles – including word counts and file and image sizes. Delete Unused Images Or Styles: Automatically remove unlinked images or unreferenced CSS classes. Clipboard History: Quickly access your recently copied text. Spellcheck: Step through misspelled words in addition to highlighting them, with improved word recognition. Preferences: Customise Sigil even more by changing Sigil’s fonts and level of automatic source cleanup. Special Characters: Insert from a list of common special characters. Insert Links And IDs: Create footnotes and links to chapters or anything else. Link Stylesheets: Quickly link and unlink stylesheets to your HTML files.

  • Ebook Formatting Guide
    No matter what kind of book you're publishing, ebook sales will probably be your biggest numbers. Since ebooks have no production costs, they let you be much more flexible in pricing, and can be a powerful marketing tool to attract new readers. So even while you're formatting for print, you should be thinking about ebook conversion. Luckily, you can do it for free, and it can be pretty easy - if you aren't picky about the little details (and I'll explain why you shouldn't be). Below you'll find a few different methods for converting your document to epub and mobi formats, as well as formatting a Smashwords file (ideal for broader distribution). Terminology Crash Course "Ebooks" are digital versions of your book that can be read on tablets and smartphones. Most ebook stores use a file format called "epub" - but Amazon/Kindle uses a slightly modified file format called "mobi." Most bookstore chains have their own ereader device and their own bookstore; but some companies like Smashwords, BookBaby, and Lulu offer "distribution" - which means they'll send your ebook out to all the online retailers and keep track of sales for you. The basics Unlike print books, for which you want everything to be "fixed" and perfect, ebooks need to "flow." This is so people using various ereaders can set their own options, change the fonts and text size, to make the reading experience suit their preferences. To achieve this, ebook formats use something very similar to html code. While you don't really need to learn this code, it will help if you need to fine tune the details.

  • J: Formatting with Jutoh
    Self-Publishing: Easy as ABC Meredith Bond www.anessabooks.com [email protected] J: Formatting with Jutoh For those of you who are not so computer savvy or just want an easier way of formatting your book, you can also convert your Word document into an epub and mobi file using the paid program, Jutoh. Jutoh is a program created for authors to convert their work into an ebook. That is its originally intention, unlike Calibre which has been used that way despite the fact that that’s not what it was meant for. Because it was meant for authors, it has a lot of great features which make formatting beautiful books easy, as you’re about to see. It’s not very expensive ($39) and has a devoted following of people who happily share information on how to use the program—there’s even a Yahoo group devoted to it where the developer answers questions that others cannot. Jutoh will use the clean, formatted document you created at the beginning of this lesson to organize and create your ebook. Basically, you are doing most of the formatting in Microsoft Word and then adding in all the fun stuff using Jutoh. If you want, you can directly import your cleaned Word document into Jutoh and then add all the styles and page breaks there, but Word is easier to work in (the window is larger and the text is easier to see). Before you begin to read this long and detailed explanation of how to format your book in Jutoh, please know that I created a video that shows you how to do all of this.
