My problem is this (and probably a familiar one for many of us); the formatting on some of the ebooks I've purchased is horrible! There is a good 1/2 inch border on all sides and it is not fully justified. I tried to bring it up in Sigil to see if there was an easy fix for someone like me who doesn't know the code and has little extra time to learn it, but have absolutely no idea where to begin. I did compare the Style files of a purchased epub ebook with great formatting to the one without but don't know what changes to make. Could I just copy the CSS and page_template files from the good epub to the bad? What would happen to the TOC, to the title formats? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I did read through the Sigil user's manual and searched MR, but didn't find the answer. |
I have an idea. If we have the same ePub, I can fix it up and you can then download a copy of notepad++ and compare the original CSS to the modified CSS. That would help to let you see what sort of changes were made to change the formatting.
