Wondering where I can find the "Alice in Wonderland" ePub used on the Sigil home page
Hi all:
Just wondering where I could find the ePub of "Alice in Wonderland" that is used in the images on the Sigil home page to illustrate how Sigil looks? I really like the way the chapter heading is formatted, but, without the CSS that goes with the HTML, I have no clue how this formatting legerdemain was accomplished. I saw a mention of a "Library" forum that is reported to have a version of "Alice in Wonderland" but I don't know if this is the one used for the screen captures, nor can I find said forum. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Jon |

If you look a bit closer at the left side you can see the hint - it comes from Feedbooks.

Thanks. Took me a moment or three to figure out what you meant by "look a bit closer at the left side," but, when I did, I followed the rabbit hole to Feedbooks and their free version of the book. Appreciate your assistance. |

here is the sample code: Code:
<h2><span class="chapterHeader"><span class="t">chapter</span> <span class="count">1</span></span></h2> Code:
.chapterHeader { height:60px; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: black; border-right-color: black; border-bottom-color: black; border-left-color: black; display:block; margin-bottom:20px; background-color:#FFF;} .t { float:left; font-weight: normal; margin-top:38px; margin-left: 0; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-right: 16px; padding-left: 5px ; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; font-size:26px; background-color:#FFF; font-family:"times new roman",sans-serif;} .count { line-height: 100%; font-style:normal; font-weight: normal; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:94px; margin-right: 0; margin-top:-14px; margin-bottom: -20px; float:left; padding:0px; background-color:#FFF;} |

Using "background-color" without a "color"? Not a good idea. What if I set my reader to "night mode" (white text on black background)?
