Design ePub ebooks with resourceful tools

Probably the most notable feature about Sigil is the split viewing mode which allows you to view the code and design side-by-side, an option usually founding in complex and paid applications.

Take advantage of a wide range of useful features

When putting together new ebooks, it is possible to design the covers and edit basic metadata along with role properties, span text into multiple file by taking into account the cursor position or after inserting markers, as well as generate a table of contents or edit the existing one (if any).

The software application keeps track of all text copied to the Clipboard, records it to history and allows you to paste any preferred clip. Complex searches can be run with advanced files, and it is possible to replace keywords as well as to save searches to run them again at a later time.

Sigil integrates a spellchecker and it is capable of validating ePub and CSS styles using online services, as well as remove unused media and CSS styles in order to reduce the size of the ePub file. Keyboard shortcuts are available for all important commands and they can be easily remapped into something else.
