html->lrf line spacing between wrong lines?

flowoeB · 07-25-2009, 12:23 PM

hi,

i'm sorry if this was discussed in another thread but my english isn't good enough to find something on it:

i am converting a simple html file with calibre 0.6 to lrf - its only text in paragraphs.
after uploading the lrf to my sony 505 the space between the last line of a paragraph and the one BEFORE is a little bit larger than the other gaps between the lines. would be no problem if the gap would be AFTER the last line of a paragraph but this way it's totally annoying. i have no clue what i'm doing wrong. no change in the parameters seem to have any effect on this.

please help. thank you!

sounds like a problem with line spacing in the CSS. Opena ticket and attach the HTML file.

This happens I've noticed, if you have a paragraphs where the indent is different. Like say the first paragraph of a chapter with no indent and then the next has an indent . The space between the paragraphs with the same indent will be the same. But the space between the paragraph with no indent and an indent is larger.

it happens in a paragraph after (and before) every 
it doesn't depend on an indent being there or not.
its only a plain html file with <h2> and tags - nothing else

found a work-arround: everything's fine if i replace every " " with ""

This has been happening to me too. Even apparently with .lit files that were created from html.

Interestingly it's also happened when I converted a rtf file to lrf but somewhat randomly. I'm assuming calibre converts the rtf file to html and then to lrf. I converted one rtf file to 5 different lrf files which only differed in font size. In two of the files, the gap between the last and second last line of the paragraph appeared and in three of them it didn't.

I'm not an advanced user. How does one do this--or is there a workaround--when converting from, say, a mobi to an lrf file? TIA

i convert every text to plain html before importing it to calibre... then it is possible to correct it...
