Hi all,

I've been playing a bit with HTML files, and converting them to mobipocket format with html2mobi. I've been disappointed by realizing that the Cybook reader (and the PC mobipocket reader) does not support many formatting instructions in HTML and CSS.

I've found this page, that apparently gives a list of the tags supported by the mobipocket reader, but I wonder if it's really applicable to the Cybook, and to HTML files not converted into mobipocket format. So the question is, is there any resource about which tags and properties are supported by the Cybook?

For instance, I wanted to have some space above headings (H1, H2, etc.), but it seems the Cybook won't recognize STYLE or CLASS attributes, so I'd be left with introducing empty lines, which is generally bad style. Also, can I have an horizontal rule that takes only half of the screen and is not centered? What about a paragraph or DIV with larger margins?
