Hello,
first of all thanks to all the contributors to Calibre and its recipes. This is really great, and makes my Kindle 3 so much more useful
I have a subscription of the Sueddeutsche newspaper, which when downloading with target Kindle (MOBI) has a padding left for the actual articles. Here is an example:
Since the heading of each article is perfectly left-aligned I tried to get rid of the extra padding to increase readability.
The online source looks as follows:
Code:
<p style="padding-left:4px;">Die EU-Kommission plant ....</p><br class="br5">
<p style="padding-left:4px;">EU-Kommissar Algirdas Semeta ...</p><br class="br5">
Inspecting the output in Calibre reveals that this is converted to
Code:
<blockquote class="calibre_9">...</blockquote>
I can see that the blockquote actually has a margin-left of 2em:
Code:
blockquote { margin: 0em 0em 0em 2em; }
while calibre_9 only seems to add a margin-top:
Code:
.calibre_9 { margin-top: 1em; text-indent: 0pt }
I tried the following without success:
- Common Options -> Look&Feel -> Extra CSS -> blockquote { margin: 0em 0em 0em 0em; }
- Common Options -> Look&Feel -> Extra CSS -> .calibre_9 { margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; }
- Output Options -> MOBI output -> Ingore marings
None of those worked. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Do I need to change the CSS, adjust the recipe (pre-filter the padding-left:4px?), or is there a totally different solution?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
