I will look in the other file, but if I am talking about errors in an epub I always refer to the file that I have.
I never use calibre to convert the epubs myself.
I just want the text of the epubs that someone gives me, aligned to the left.
But if there is a calibre code in the converted file, it always moves words one or 2 places to the right.
like reading like this:
Code:
-

It drives me crazy.
I guess they scan the books, do the spell check in word and then use calibre to make a epub of it, and then it looks like the way I explained.

When I make a book, I use abbyy finereader, export it to html, open the html in sigil and I have a perfect book,with all the text aligned to the left.
But as soon as others use calibre, the text is out of line !
So I try to find a way to correct it with sigil without destroying the complete book.
The affected paragraph class might have a text-indent: <value>
Every paragraph <p class="...">
either set it to 0 or comment it out /* unwanted */
NB remember to remove the pre-ceding semicolon if it was the last line in the style declaration.
