Ah. I'll be honest, I've never messed with the code of an ebook, and my HTML dates back to before the days when CSS was an encoding process used on DVDs. <BR> was easier to use then <P> and </P>, and you still had to keep a hex chart on hand for determining text colors.
Either way, you'll find I'm a bit of a pragmatist compared to most Linux and a fair few Windows users; if the code works, it works and that's all that matters. If it doesn't, then we have a problem. I'm not as concerned about how elegant or ideologically pure (which is a huge issue in Linux land) it is, compared to whether or not it works.
