ODT or HTML -> MOBI: Blockquote and other issues
Hi all, I'm trying for the first time to convert some stuff with Calibre to MOBI for a Kindle and I have some issues.
So I make a file in Writer and save as ODT. Then I import it in Calibre 0.8.41 and convert to MOBI with default options. This is what happens:
1 - all the styles of the original file (and of the intermediate html generated by Calibre) get replaced by calibre_## classes.
2 - All paragraphs became "justified" even if "Text justification" in Look & Feel is set to "Original".
3 - If I have a paragraph with left margin set to > 0, Calibre translate it as "blockquote" with a fixed margin of 0 0 0 2em and I can't change it in any way. If I try to style it in "Extra CSS" with something like:
blockquote { margin: 0 2em 0 2em }
to make it centered it doesn't change at all.
4 - The same happens for all the other calibre_## classes: I can't style them with Extra CSS.
All of this happens even if I save my original ODT as HTML and use it for conversion to MOBI.
All of this doesn't happen if I convert the ODT to EPUB. The text stay left aligned, the paragraphs with left margin keep my margins, the classes don't get replaced by calibre_## classes so I can style them in Extra CSS. If then I convert this EPUB to MOBI all stay like it should be.
