inline_toc_styles.css

To have my own CSS used when I make an inline TOC, I created my own styles and put my inline_toc_styles.css into AppData\Roaming\Calibre\resources\templates

1. I took a guess about where to put it since I couldn't find info in the users manual (and for once I guessed right)

2. I get CDATA tags for some reason. They don't seem to hurt, but I wonder why I get them

Code:

  <style type="text/css"><![CDATA[

  li > ul {

    margin-bottom: 1em;

  }

  ul.level1 {

    padding-left: 0;

    font-weight: normal;

    font-size: 100%;

    margin-top: 1em;

    margin-left: 0;

    text-decoration: none;

  }

  ul.level2 {

    font-size: 100%;

  }

  ul.level3 {

    font-style: italic;

  }

  li {

    margin-top: 1em;

    list-style-type: none;

  }

  a {

    text-decoration: none;

    color: black;

  }

  a:hover {

    border-top-style: solid;

    border-bottom-style: solid;

    padding-bottom: 2px;

    padding-top: 1px;

    border-top-width: 2px;

    border-bottom-width: 2px;

    color: white;

    background-color: black;

  }

  ]]></style>

It ain't hard.

File: import into book: <select file>
It auto locates (in file browser)based upon extension

Right click on the LINK TARGET html: select

Sorry, I don't see how that relates to getting [CDATA] tags

I did that and all I got was another html file at the end.

I think you get this <![CDATA[ because you are in a xhtml file, and in your css you have this symbol >.

> is a special character in xml. CDATA is used to prevent errors when parsing the document.
A way to say : "ignore all special characters in this section".

If you don't want to see it, put your css in an external file, but as you said, it doesn't hurt.

Ahhh - thanks

Calibre apparently inserts what it finds in the inline_toc_styles.css file when it makes an inline TOC so I was just modeling mine on the built in file (which doesn't have the <)

My version gets used and the CDATA doesn't hurt, so all is well
