--override-css "p {margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;padding:0pt; text-indent:20pt}" into the extra css box? Same syntax? Then do I leave the margins section on the page setup dialog all at 0? Thanks. |

In the viewer, is it still possible to remove the toolbars? I tried right clicking all over the place like in 5.14 and did not see the option.

Thanks for this great software Kovid! I really like the new conversion from RB format as I have a lot of old books from my (now dead) Rocket eBook Pro I'd love to read again.
One thing, could you add validation to ebook-convert so it won't let you specify the same filename for both input and output? I was converting a book and using the linux autocompletion to quickly fill out the name and pressed enter before changing the output file extension. Result? A clobbered input file. E.g. I ran this ebook-convert input.rb input.rb instead of ebook-convert input.rb input.epub Thanks |

@vbu: opena ticket so I dont forget
@ralob: I don;t think anything toolbar related changed in the viewer. @slantybard: yes, the margin setting is for overall page margins, not paragraph margins @pghmark: Hmm not sure what could be causing this, as far as i know, the installer simply checks for calibre.exe in the running processes. |

Thanks, Kovid, for this wonderful piece of software --- I can't say enough good things about it.
There is one behavior that baffles me. I run all my ebooks through Book Designer, create a lit file, then have Calibre convert it to lrf for my Sony Reader PRS-505. In Book Designer, I highlight the book title and author and designate them as such. Book Designer will center these and make the font larger in relation to the rest of the text, and it will note the metadata. In Calibre version 5.14, I change the font size of the output from the default size of 10 points to 9 points. Everything converts great and looks proportional on the Sony Reader. However, in Calibre version 6.0 if I change the font size from the default "0.0" to 9 points, the book title and book author take up virtually the complete page! The rest of the text looks fine. If I leave the default font size at "0.0", the resulting page with the book title and book author on it looks normal. The body text, however, is a little larger than I like it, at 10 points. I can "sort of" solve the problem by just highlighting, centering, and bolding the book author and book title in Book Designer without indicating that they are in fact the book author and book title, but this seems a less than ideal solution. Any ideas on what is going on and how I can effect a better fix? Thanks! |

The font rescaling code has been changed, it now uses two inputs, the base font size and a font size key.
The font size key is a list of sizes to map the logical sizes xx-small, x-small, small, normal, large, x-large, xx-large etc to. All sizes in the document are sized proportionately by the key. If you find the high end becoming too large try setting a key that has different (I can't remember whether smaller of larger sizes on the high end). If I remember right the SONY reader output profile by default uses the key 7.5, 9, 10, 12, 15.5, 20, 22, 24 This key has been optimized for EPUB output as going forward I'm pretty sure SONY will drop LRF. You might have to experiment a little to find the best key for your needs. |

Thanks, Kovid. I'll play with the input and output a bit more keeping your comments in mind. I'd like to go "whole hog" into epub output, but I'm bothered by the fact that the Sony PRS-505 has no epub support for justified text, and with the events/rumors floating around Sony the last couple of days I'm afraid that there may not be any more updates to the Sony software, and a near zero chance of the justification being provided.
