In version Version: 3.1.5.1 (2073405) 64-bit - 06 Jul 2023, when compiling to ePub 3 EBook you can click on the image icon and see your cover image, the checkbox says to add html cover page, what is it doing, is the cover uploaded an hosted someplace or is it embedded image in the eBook? i am concerned that it is a hosted image someplace and not a part of the physical eBook, in addition, above the cover is a blank page, so page 1 is blank, i do not want a blank page as the first page of the ebook.
Also, the paragraphs have no space beetween them in the eBook export, they run with no spacing like:
This is Paragraph1.
This is Paragraph2.
it should have a space between them such as
This is Paragraph1.
This is Paragraph2.
Thanks for any advise.
The cover is added to the images folder in the e-book. An e-book is like a zipped website.
Add âmargin-bottom: 1em;â to your Paragraph Style using Sigil.

thanks for the suggestion, are you talking about here?
No, in the CSS pane, add the rule to the css class used for normal paragraphsâŠ
ok so i should modify the default then, to make it double space and to make the paragraph space more, just making sure i understand, actually you canât modify the default style sheet, the block is read only, so me adding it here did not even matter, i canât update it there
