Columns in Calibre

DaniMayCry · 09-13-2022, 08:22 AM

Greetings, I wanted to know whether it was possible to make with css inside epub files. I tried using the column-count property and it worked inside of Calibre but not on my e-reader (Kobo Libra 2).
Are there any other ways to make columns that would be recognized by e-readers?

When reading ePub on a Kobo, the reading software in use is RMSDK (ADE). You can use the following CSS code to make two columns. This code won't work with KePub or the Calibre viewer (at least I think it won't work). But it will work on your Libra 2 for ePub.

Code:

oeb-column-number: 2;

That's something totally new to me! But is there any way to make it so that it works both on Calibre and other e-readers? Should I just put both in the same attribute?

Also, this code didn't work for me, but I did use 4 columns, but idk if that changes anything. It just displays a single column on the e-reader.

Where did you put this in the CSS? If it's not int he body style, put ti there. Also, did you read the eBook as ePub or KePub? It will not work in KePub.

I put it under a class called "column4", if i applied it to the entire body it would mess up a lot of the chapters. And I am reading the book as epub.
