About PageEdit
PageEdit is a WYSIWYG editor for the XHTML files that make up an EPUB book. It comes from the same team as the Sigil ebook editor and can be used alongside it, letting you edit page content visually instead of working directly in the markup.
It is a desktop application built with Qt, and its source is published on GitHub. It suits people producing or correcting ebooks who prefer to change text and formatting as it will appear.
