As for the simplest way to fix a Mobi, it depends on how much tweaking you want to do. Personally, I prefer to use MobiUnpack, tweak the code, and then run through KindleGen (& KindleStrip). That way my end result is as close as possible to the original. |

There's a separate program I use to "Beautify" HTML code that comes out all in one line.
http://prettydiff.com/ JavaScript is markup_beauty.js (I think) which I run using this file named wsh.wsf (I'll attach it here. You'll need to rename it since forum didn't like my .wsf file but accepted a .txt file) and the command line to run it is: cscript wsh.wsf /source:"name_of_your_file.html" /html:true (on Windows) I'll attach the markup_beauty.js file too. (Again you'll have to rename it from .txt for the same reason.) I'm not sure if markup_beauty.js relies on other files. If so they are at http://prettydiff.com/documentation.php [EDIT: It's not clear that the licences for wsh.wsf and markup_beauty.js allow redistribution. Attachments deleted. They can be download from the page linked above. The Mods.] Last edited by pdurrant; 06-21-2012 at 04:42 PM. |

OK I gave it a test and found I need three files:
Then I used the command: cscript wsh.wsf /source:"Hello.htm" /html:true > "HelloPretty.htm" |

@deleyd I tested the prettydiff scripts and noticed that there seems to be a problem with accented characters, which are garbled in the output file. (English text should be fine, though.) Babelpad also reported an error message when I tried to open the output file, which is usually an indicator of invalid Unicode sequences in a file. Last edited by Doitsu; 06-22-2012 at 06:15 AM. |

I do just that in my text editor. I think it's best for the mobiunpack to do as little massaging of the HTML as possible.

That might alter the meaning if the two consecutive brackets belong to inline tags, since the inserted linebreak equals a space.
I would insert a linebreak only before "<h", "<p" or "<div", for instance. |

You also could put a line end at </p> </h#> </div> and any other </ that's should be at the end of a line. Both ways would give most lines correctly separated. |

I use a binary search (for "<p") and replace (with "\x0d\x0a<p") to prepare one-lined html files for viewing/correcting/editing in my favorite editor.
I've also had issues with ascii/unicode/utf-8 characters not being preserved across edits and producing the ebook - I now convert all utf-8 codes to html codes (e.g. e2809c and e2809d to “ and ” or c3a9 to é ) - it makes the html source a little bit harder to proofread. |

Has anybody had any trouble with the book covers? Upon unpacking a mobi file and packing it back using Kindlegen, the book cover is getting lost. Looking at the unpacked files, the cover is properly being extracted. Kindlegen is also throwing a warning saying no cover found.
I've had this problem on a few books now. Anybody have any ideas as to what could be going on? |
