Epub styles question

nqk · 04-19-2015, 09:15 PM

Dear you guys,

I found in some epub reader (FB reader, etc.) there is a setting for styles in case the provided css is chosen to be ignored. I understand some only.

1) Regular Paragraph
2) Epub paragraph (xhmtl tag content)
3) Title
4) Section Title
5) Subtitle
6) Heading 1 to 6 (I know this means <h1> to <h6>
7) Annotation
8) Epigraph
9) Author
10) Poem Title
11) Stanza
12) Verse
13) Cite (probably this means <cite>)

14) Internal Hyperlink
15) External Hyperlink
16) Footnote
17) Italic, Emphasis, Bold, Strong (I know these mean <i>, <em>, <b>, <strong>)
18) Definition
19) Definition Description
20) Preformatted Text
21) Code (problably this means <code>)
22) Striketrhough (<s>)
23) superscript, subscript (<sup>, <sub>)
24) Image (<img>)
25) Date

========

The reader provides setting to format these things, but if I just set <p class="title"> it is only seen as a paragraph rather than "Title".

FBReader is crap. It ignores too much and is rather worthless to test ePub.

Dear @JSWolf,

To my experience, no android app provides all the features that I need (adequate display of css, page margin minimization, popup). However, regarding displaying well css tags, I think Google Play Book, FB Reader, Prestigio do a good job. FB Reader and Prestigio even allows me to minimize page margin (Google Play Book doesn't). But none of these supports popup footnote

Moon+ Pro supports popup footnote. I love this feature. But it is weak in css display (even margin values are ignored).

I don't know what are ignored in FBreader, the css I used is rather simple. Ah, when I dig in Prestigio setting, it also has the same "default styles" as FBreader. Maybe they are brothers.

Find an Android app that uses RMDSK (ADE). That should work pretty well.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Are you formatting a book for publication, or are you just trying to improve the rendering of an existing book?

If the former, I'd suggest you settle on a simple style sheet that works across most if not all e-readers. You're welcome to borrow mine from my blog at
