Sigil Ebook Template How To Use It

Besides, we must consider that in any case we will not achieve the same results as in Word, as the available options for the eBook template design are fewer.

We do not believe that the same results can be achieved with an automatic converter, so here is where the creative part of the design plays its role.

Sigil Ebook Template How To Use It

You can find it here and it is amazing how easy it is to learn how to use it and design the layout for our book.

We believe that once youve designed the layout for your first book, you can design the format of a book with similar features in a couple of hours.

In this particular case we have different image sizes (ingredients, pictures of each step), and two different fonts for the letters (apart from the titles, which will use a separate font).

Once you have a CSS template ready for the kind of book in which you want to design the layover, it will be extremely easy and quick to do.

I will, after a break, attempt to do this exact template again, in one version. (Which would mean I can do this without making errors.) In time I should also like to try two new templates using xhtml and TextEditPages.

I had contacted Professor Sigil (Sigil Creator Sir Valloric) regarding the idea of Sigil Templates being helpful to newbies and he suggested I might start such a thread members could decide if it was a good idea or not.

Talk about being thrown to the wolves.

But, having a fair knowledge of the Canine language, complements of Sadie, wheres the fear) I have made a template (a simple epub with images and a little bit of text) that has taught me how to do all my work to make an ebook (epub) in Sigil disclaimer no xhtml or TextEdit app was endangered in the making of Template 001: Sigil Pure.

This is baby steps for me, I have been reminded by observing Puck that this is the easiest way (for me and he) to learn.

The Content of my Template (ebook) Title: Sadie Saves the World Plan Procedure Problems Observed Content 1 Sadie Shines 2 Sadie Outs Riposaurus 3 Treachery Must Go Originally, I included some nifty starters to my 3 Chapters but elected to eject them as flamboyant and irrelevant to my central purpose.

Each chapter contains only: i) its title in Heading 1, ii) an image (3 different sizes of same image) and iii) a simple text line giving images specs.

It has taken me a long time to get this over-cooked baby out of the frying pan and to where I feel I can start this thread.

I will post my history and notes on Template 001: Sigil Pure in my next post ( post 2 ).

In a third post I will post the final epub (assuming one can post such a thing in a post.) In a forth post I would include: i) my 4 images, ii) TextEdit with images (links would be the 4 images), iii) TextEdit without images (Image substituted for the image icons) so it can be opened in xhmtl.

This would exclude the preambling Plans Procedures and Problems Observed posted already.

Just the simple ebook and its three simple chapters.) But before I do what I just outlined, could knowledgeable members please advise me if this is not practical and that Im thinking outside some crazed box from Pluto (my home planet, but thats another story.) And if some kind Administrator finds this in time and sees nutso on the lose, please delete this episode and help me save face.

Something I have only learned about on this planet.

It is regular, honourable and shameless to go about Pluto with ones foot firmly planted in ones mouth.

That is why our current Prime Minister shows not the slightest touch of embarrassment for the things that venture from his lips.

However, he was ejected from Pluto, I elected to emigrate.) Theres no place like home.

The Title, Plan Purpose pages and 3 Chapters to include i) Titles using Heading 1 ii) an Image, centred iii) a simple text descriptor of the image iv) end Chapter 3 with The End centred and italicized 4.

The Content Page to follow Plan Purpose Page using Heading 2 5.

Formatting using the alignment and text highlights i) all text left-aligned except for Template 001: Pure Sigil, The End; each to be centred ii) All centred text to be italicized and have centred written at end iii) all Headings in plain text and left aligned (will be bold via Headings) iv) all images to be centred v) all image descriptors bracketed vi) examples of bold, italics, and bold-italics used in the Purpose Page and centred italics inThe End 6.

The same Image will be used i) the images will each be of a different size, modified by width size ii) information will be as follows: (W)idth, (H)eight, in pixels; size will be in kb; increments will be by 25 pixels (150225) applied to width iii) all images will have a Resolution 28.35 pixelscm (72 pixelsinch) 8.

Each change to the template to be saved separately.

Stanza on an iPod touch, second generation: I use Verdana font; about 40 characters per line and 29 lines per screen (bold text and Headings will affect number of lines) (about 1160 characters per screen page) 10.

Titles will vary in length spanning 1 to 2 lines on the iPt as indicated in point 9.

All spell checking will be done by copying Sigil text to Pages (Macintosh) and then corrections will be made manually in Sigil.

Left and centre alignments do not work in text when all scripting is done in Sigil.

This may be different when imported from xhmtl or TextEdit, neither of which was the point of this template exercise.) 2.

Centring is mandatory in all headings and cannot be overridden using formats when composing in Sigil.

Pictures alignment cannot be changed via the Format.

Composing in Sigil without pasting text from another application was made difficult for spell checking as text from Sigil had to be copied and pasted into another document to be spell checked and then any errors found had to be changed manually in Sigil.

On one occasion a new page (Problems Observed) with page breaks could be made but the title could not be made a header.

From that version a new page with appropriate header was possible.

Further note It took me 36 different versions to get this straight; three times I elected to start from scratch.

First attempt: 11 versions Second attempt: 17 versions Third attempt: 8 versions (many versions had very simple improvements such as spelling checks or formatting) This is not to be taken as a fault with Sigil, only that I am persistent in my desire to have the results accurate with no corruptions.

As well, this is a learning exercise for me and I wanted to make sure I was able to duplicate the pages that appeared in good order more quickly and accurately.

I will, after a break, attempt to do this exact template again, in one version.

Which would mean I can do this without making errors.) In time I should also like to try two new templates using xhtml and TextEditPages.
