MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - HTML tables truncating after converting to epub

SEI Publications · 04-25-2011, 04:51 PM

I have a clean HTML file that, using Mobipocket Creator, converts well to prc.

I am using Calibre to convert the same HTML file to create an epub file. I am then viewing the results on an ipad or Mobipocket Reader on a PC.

Text in table cells displays correctly in my HTML file and in the prc file; however, this same HTML produces truncated table cells in the epub file when viewed with an ipad or Mobipocket Reader (using Paper Book Aspect Ratio or any of the other settings other than Full Width).

(The table text displays correctly only when I select "Full Width" with Mobipocket Reader--the table cells truncate in the other views.)

The HTML code is clean:

<table border="1" >
<tr>
<td valign="top">Immediate</td>
<td valign="top"> ... if the observed queue length is greater than or equal to threshold, <em>n</em></td>
</tr>
</table>

How can I reformat this so that the table displays correctly regardless of the type of display that I've chosen in mobipocket reader?
