I'm using Nook Simple Touch, and really like Cool Reader's capability to utilize the whole screen, but absence of support for those properties troubles me somehow...
P.S. how about "height:100%"? this is so necessary for cover pages...

It will be implemented, but not in nearest future.
(I can implement small-caps, if it's useful).
Can embedded display of coverpages on full page replace this property?
You can see how it's done for FB2 book covers. I can enable the same for EPUB.

I've finally given up on this. For now. Sounds like 'float' will be added at some point but since it's 'non trivial' ... I kept wondering why a natively inline html tag like <img would be set to display:block in the epub.css. Here's the answer.
A lot of the epubs I've made for myself include illustrations including drop-caps and text-wrap is essential to their presentation IMHO. I've spent a considerable amount of time tracking down these graphics and incorporating them into my books. I was excited about the automatic android ability to enlarge graphics to fullscreen so I would be able to avoid getting up to speed on linking to fullscreen versions of them and back in the html.
I've read this entire 54 page thread in hopes that I was simply lacking knowledge but, alas, it's seems it just isn't part of Cool Reader at this stage.
I haven't quoted it here but there is at least one other post referring to technical books that should be presented in this fashion also.
Of course, the books can be read without text-wrap but without the text and graphics appearing simultaneously on the screen it becomes cumbersome to me.
I'm a problem solver so tend to see 'the problem.' Let me be clear that my opinion of Cool Reader couldn't be better -- I love it. Superior work and well done!, Buggins et al. Cool Reader continues to reside on my phone and will get some use.
As a final, desperate attempt I've just installed and tested Aldiko on my Galaxy Note II and Aldiko doesn't appear to have this capability either so I'll stick to my Kobo Touch for now.
