Quick Formatting Q: (Smashwords and DTP)
My wife and I are working on a Niche community educational flash card tool. Wondering if people can help us move ahead. I have done some text formatting before, but I think you all could take the guess work out of this.
We want to have words by themselves in the top, middle of a first page Then when you hit next page it moves to the definition in the middle of the word by itself on p. 2. Then it moves to the next word etc. My question is largely about pagebreaks and the DTP/MeatGrinder: DTP: If I format this by using page breaks and centering in O_o or other wordprocessor, will it pick up the formatting or should I do it in html? Would someone give an example of how to set up tags for it? MeatGrinder: will the MG "read" page breaks? I have read in places that is does. Format guide says that centering is no problem. The thing about the tool is that if page breaks won't work we probably wouldn't be able to do it as we have it in our heads. thanks. |

Are there "pages" in an ebook? Wouldn't the page orientation change if the reader made the font larger or smaller? That would be completely beyond your control.
The centering is no problem. I did a book with images and recipes that were centered. I was under the impression that the manuscript itself was just one long scroll. That's why it was impossible for me to index the recipes as to page number. I could list them but not state what "page" they were on. I hope I've understood your question.
