Wow, jackie_w.

Thank you for another wonderful post. You've started me on my CSS education with a great post on CSS with calibre that covers info and methods it would probably have taken me a year to find out on my own if not longer in a manner I could grasp in one reading. I'm impressed.

And I'm glad to find out I wasn't wrong about pegging bookfanmd's concern as a CSS area. I hope bookfanmd comes back through here soon to see your response.

Thanks again.
