Excellent. That is how we got extentions.cfg for modifications. This just quite advanced stuff, so I was suggesting less correct but much simpler way of doing that.


FBRerader eating up spaces is an old problem. This is a feature, because in the vast majority of books multiple consecutive spaces are undesirable.

You might try:
1. in an advanced text editor replace <Space><Space> by <Space><Non-breakable-space> or similar characters.
2. making html out of those txt files.
Just open it in a good text editor and put <br> at the end of each line, or put <p> at the beginning of each line and </p> at the end of each line. This should be usable as a bare-bones html file. If it is not enough enclose entire text between <body><body> tags, insert simple header and enclose the entire thing in <html> and </html> tags.
3. You can also make an rtf file. Use monospaced fonts.
4. there is always the last resort of making a pdf with proper page size (90x115mm) and appropriate fonts and text sizes.
