Line spacing troubles

nymormon · 12-30-2011, 02:08 PM

I've been trying to convert some text files to EPUB, and I am not getting the correct format. I have a doublespace between some paragraphs, yet in the finished product it looks triple spaced. On some lines that should be singlespaced, it is doublespaced. I've looked at the code, and it appears that the culprit is the . When I try to remove the first , and replace the with a , it won't let me. I'm not sure what to do to get the formatting that I want.

1) you can't break up a Tag pair
2) adjust the paragraph style (might/should be in the stylesheet)
margin-bottom and or margin-top values. there is little need for empty paragraphs as you show (except for scene breaks)
3) can't be naked. it must be contained inside a tag pair (H or P)

Where do I find a stylesheet? The Styles folder doesn't seem to contain anything, and I don't know where else to look for it.

then look at the (embeded) styles in the header area (code view) of each document.

That could also be the indication of your issue. No Styles = DEFAULTS as supplied by the viewer

Read some sites about basic (x)HTML and CSS. Pablo's simple tutorial could be a good start. That kind of knowledge is the minimum you should know.
