I will do more testing with fractional ems. if I stick to how does it look in kindle for PC then it is quick to run through permutations and not have to learn how to unpack mobi code.

meanwhile back at the indent or not debate...

where I don't care to see indents is with lots of short dialogue line passages

"oh yes he did"
"oh no he didn't"
"followd by the odd statement that runs into 2nd line ,like zzzzzzzzz zzzzzzz zzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzz zzzz zzzzz zzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzz this"

as the LH margin then looks ragged.


so I wonder how a book would look if paragraphs were indented EXCEPT where they began with an opening speech quote, and what regex would alter a book to that style, as a test.

if the book does not have quotes within quotes or multiples speech groups on 1 line then the regex could be fairly simple - look for >" in the html & squeeze in a no-indent style setting OR if starting from no indents, look for > followed by NOT" and add some spaces or an indent style. maybe it would look truly awful but I'd like to do it / see it done
as you get a raggedly LH margin.
