this is gettign much cleaere - thanks all.
my only remaining CSS puzzle is body vs .body - no joy googling css syntax for explanation of when not to add the dot
on the default 5pt margins - just out of curiosity how were they chosen - democratically or Kovid's view of what looks best.
If I wanted more margin all around, in the style of some adobe xgpt styles, I guess its better to tweak common preferences & reconvert rather than edit CSS & find /replace the @page stuff; that way there will be an original-epub to revert to.
on a quick test, I see the visual appeal of more surrounding white space - it is more "paper book like" but when I am actually reading i like to minimize page turns so will probably stick with calibre defaults.
