[Old Thread] Can I make all text BOLD in epub format?
Two related questions...
Is there a simple way to take an existing epub file and make all the text bold so I can more easily see the output on my nook? Is there a way to make all text bold as I am converting a file into epub format? Thanks. |

1- When I typed "body {font-weight: bold} " inline, Calibre split it into three lines as in your example. 2- I converted from epub to mobi and the bold went with it and my K3 is now much easier to read. Thanks for the info - it has been a real help. Regards - John |

Depending on your device, you can actually change your font-face to a bold font for your regular font and a heavy font for the bolded parts of your epubs.

I tried it and it only works for part of the epub. Anyone know why?

It all depends on the style(sheet) set for the various text. Some stylesheets have 20 lines for the entire (bare bones styled) book Many use 200 lines of styles, for a clean looking style found in many paperbacks. Then there is the 'kitchen sink' (3000 line) size stylesheet, that contains every style the publisher has ever used Setting a Body size to Large only lasts until a new font-size is called inside the body. Use the base font rescaling option in the conversion settings to shift ALL font sizes in the book. |
