Hello all, nice to be here. I've referred to this site many times whilst working on an epub project for the organization I work for, it's been a great resource. I have a question I have yet to have been able to find an answer.
I am formatting a chinese language version of an epub that is meant to go to the various epub formats including the ibook. If anyone has any experience with Chinese they may know that the words "Introduction" and "Preface" need 2 emspaces between them. However when I try and put an emspace in the xhtml between the 2 characters the Ipad completely ignores it. Secondly, if I try to apply padding via a span tag to one of the characters that gets ignored as well. I find this strange as I do this with bullet characters and it works. However for whatever reason, the neither the span tag nor the emspace seem to work.
I have also tried entering an emdash character and making it white, also to no avail.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thank you!
An example of the code/syntax is below
Code:
emspace:
<p class="title-01" id="toc-anchor"><前<em><em>言</span></p>
span tag:
<p class="title-01" id="toc-anchor"><span class="emspace">前</span>言</p>
span.emspace{
padding-right:2em;
}
