Hmm - thanks all but there's nothing here so far that I was not already aware of. for te manual fix I'd gone thru the original CSS looking for all margin left & margin right but the text still showed as running right up to bevel.I could post the before & after CSS for the book in question but its a huge long list.
maybe it would be more instructive to pose the question in reverse: what would I need change in the fine calibre conversion so that I lose the neat L & R margins & the text reverts to flowing right up to bevel ?
the converted css has margins & paddings set to zero & I assume negative values are not allowed, so how was the text made wider than that to begin with ? The" before" versions of css p class indent & nonindent also have zero margins, I can't see what has changed , unless the addition of
display block was what's needed ?
before:
<p class "indent>blah blah
css:
p.indent
{
text-indent: 1.00em;
margin-top: 0.0em;
margin-bottom: 0.1em;
margin-left: 0em;
margin-right: 0em;
text-align: justify;
}
after
css
.indent {
display: block;
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
margin-bottom: 0.1em;
margin-left: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-top: 0;
text-align: justify;
text-indent: 1em
}
