I tried but it made no difference. The mobi shows all the proper text formatting but it all gets lost upon converting to markdown text.

I have the latest version of Calibre installed at home. I'll try again when I get to my home desktop and see what happens.

Also, I'm not really certain what you mean by "conversion to txt does not support CSS"?

I've converted to markdown text from an epub before and I'm pretty sure it used css. If the markdown txt conversion engine isn't compatible with css, what type of text formatting is it compatible with?

Thanks.
