Two columns display in the viewer?
Hi there,
that's my first post here! Is it possible, maybe be using a custom CSS stylesheet in the configuration of the viewer, that the text is shown in two columns? TIA! ~ HD ~ |

I don't know, I've never tried Basically claibre uses the webkit engine to render the contents of the book. I don't know if WebKit supports multi column layout, if it does, it should be possible.

Please show me how to get multi columns in the E-book Viewer.
I suggest the feature is built into the viewer and that columns are handled like in Mobipocket Reader, i.e. that the text is auto columned depending on window width. On a hd screen it fits four columns with the default font size. I can also add that I suggest the mouse wheel change the page like in Mobipocket Reader, rather than scroll the page. Thanks for a great software! Last edited by John Peterson; 07-22-2011 at 05:36 AM. |

2 column in Viewer without CSS
Quote:
Today, to my surprise, the E-book viewer can render texts in multiple columns without CSS. Just right click anywhere in the Viewer, and go to Preferences \ Page layout . Setting value 2 in the following two cells sufficies to create the two columns view. |
