Paragraph breaks when removing margins

Canorka · 03-29-2012, 02:31 AM

Hey all.

I like to remove margin settings (in Look and Feel, Filter Style Information) in my epubs so that I know I'll be able to play around with them no matter what. I just realized that doing this adds a line between each paragraph, which I'm not a big fan of.

Does anyone know a way to get around this? I don't want to click the "remove breaks between paragraph" box as that usually messes up formatting somewhat...

Thanks!

The default style for a paragraph has space before and after it. To get no space, you actually need to set the top and bottom margins to zero.

Wow, that's counterintuitive.

Thanks though, figured it out!

Actually, it's not perfect - by checking the 'insert line between paragraphs box' and using a 0.0 setting it removes the space between ALL 'paragraphs' in the book, not just paragraphs in actual text text. Kind of messes with the aesthetics of pre main text stuff.

Yeah, I'm being anal... I just wish there was a way to remove margins without it messing with paragraph spacing at all.
