MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Inline css not handled correctly by HTML to epub?

kiwidude · 04-03-2011, 10:19 PM

I've got some single html files which have the css embedded within a style tag at the top, rather than a separate css file. I drop it into Calibre and it converts to a zip, everything still fine. However when I then convert to EPUB, Calibre seems to not find the css class (or at least some of them), and this results in the content being wrapped in <span> type tags with no class.

If however I take the time to move the style css into a separate .css file with a <link> element to it, and repeat the whole process, Calibre does the desired nice conversion, and those same span tags now have a class specified.

Is this expected behaviour or should I open a ticket?

EDIT: Of course I run the latest Calibre from source, currently 0.7.53
