First Line Indent on iPhone Kindle, not Kindle Fire
I've used the Kindle Previewer to make a .mobi file for view on an actual Kindle Fire. It looks just right.
When I put the same .mobi file on an iPhone, the first line of each paragraph is indented - I don't want that. The headings come out fine on iPhone. Just the paragraphs have the first-line indents. Any thoughts? Here's my stylesheet minus the metadata up top: Quote:

You're really not asking Sigil questions here.

Which is actually an Apple issue and not a Sigil issue. Sigil delivers valid coding.
Btw, the text-align: center for your hr tag will not work. |

Correct, if you need to center a horizontal line, make the left and right margin of that line equal.

But it really should not be that complicated.

p {margin-bottom: .6em; margin-top: .6em; text-indent: 0 }
try that. |

I kludged a workaround by a) placing a <br /> right after the <p> tag in the first line of every paragraph I did NOT want indented, and b) lowering the space between paragraphs.
Good, but there's still a lot of air between pargraphs. The client likes it. |

It should render fine in ADE. You should not use Sigil or FC as a final testbed.

Why is it publishers are giving the job of making eBooks to people who have no clue? This does explain a lot about why we have poor formatting and many errors. Last edited by JSWolf; 08-24-2012 at 12:14 PM. |
