Thanks, ATDrake and DiapDealer. That certainly does help.

The author of the text-book doesn't know much about ebooks, and had to be coaxed to accept the idea that ebooks are not dead tree books and follow different conventions. He wants the indents and his layout as they are in the pdfand the print versions.

I think I'm going to tell him that I can't produce a mobi version which will match his book, and suggest that he tells his Kindle using students to buy the pdf version. I'm just not prepared to jump through the hoops to do a version in valid XHTML 1.1 and another version in invalid HTML 3.2.

Regards, Alex
