Hi everyone!
Currently, I am trying to create a mobi-file to use with my kindle that should include a nicely formatted table. What I want to do is:
- horizontally center the table on the "page"
- center the content of each cell of the table
- define table cell's width
- change the background-color of single cells
I found a document in the German amazon-kindle store that contains such a well formatted table. I downloaded a drm-free sample to my kindle and tried to "reengineer" it by converting it to epub using calibre and then trying to figure out what the author did.
When I tried to re-convert the epub to the mobi-format and reviewed it on my kindle all the nice formating was gone! The author somehow managed to achieve ALL of the goals mentioned above. But obviously he took another approach than I did creating the document.
I use Sigil to create the epub and then convert it to mobi using calibre. I tried using css as well as using html-tags right insinde the <table>-tag. Unfortunately this does not give me the results I am shooting for. Any ideas how I might achive my goal??? Should I create a mobi from scratch using Mobipocket Creator?
