This is not my problem because I convert to mobi before upload to Kindle, but I'm trying to help out those who just want to upload HTML to Kindle for conversion:
Kindle's converter automatically indents the first line of every paragraph. So if you want your paragraphs to flush left, Kindle advises:
"The first line of each paragraph indents by default. You can change the indentation of the first line of a paragraph using the width attribute:
<p width="N"> (pixels), <p width="N%">,<p width="Nem"> or <p width="Npt">"
Now, who wants to do that all through a 300-page book? I would think there might be a way to amend the Normal paragraph style definition instead. For example, in a document with a flushed left paragraph, justified, and with a 12 pt space after it, the definition looks like this:
p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal
{margin-top:0in;
margin-right:0in;
margin-bottom:12.0pt;
margin-left:0in;
text-align:justify;
font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Georgia;}
Does anyone know how or where the above definition might be amended as per Kindle's suggestion? I've tried various ways without success.
If not, the code for my paragraphs reads:
<p class=MsoNormal>blah blah blah blah.</p>
Where would I add the <p width="N"> code (or one of the other variants listed by Kindle). I've tried before and after the <p class=MsoNormal> but with no success either.
Thanks.
P.S. I am aware of formatting workarounds in Word, but this question is about code.
