Plucker: Can I indent paragraphs?

alexdouglas · 08-04-2006, 12:41 AM

This is by far the best eBook reader I've found. It allows me to easily import fonts, keep most document formatting, rotate the screen 90 degrees--though there is one issue I'm having:

I make most of my eBooks by saving Word documents as html and then using pdaconverter to convert them to plucker format. But after the conversion, the paragraph indents have disappeared. Instead, there is an extra blank line between paragraphs. I've searched in the program and googled...is there a way to convert files so the indent remains?

Thanks!

Alex, Word converted html files are usually messy and it's possible that your tool (pdaconverter) doesn't parse the html tags correctly. Have you tried to use Sunrise instead fo convert your html to Plucker?

IIRC, Plucker Desktop has such an option. Not sure, though.
