Thanks all for the feedback.
Yes these are for personal use and not for distribution. I started the no indent and line space as I originally started e-reading on my iphone and the indentations really caused an issue (in my eyes anyways) that I would have like 2 words on a line...when u get the areas of a book wherer there is rapid conversation going on, I felt like I was only using half my screens and soent more time always looking for the next line. The compromise was using the space between the paragraphs. It cause a little more page flipping, but less eye movement and became my preference and I carried that on to my iPad now as it is what I am use to.
When I do distribute a book, it is always the before I formate it version.
Nuff said on that...to each their own on those preferences.
I have been in Sigil in the css, but I do not see anything that tells me the font being used in there, or the line height, etc.
As a real example, here os what I see in the css on the book I cannot get to format how I want (font, font-size, etc) :
@namespace h "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
.big {
font-size: 2em;
line-height: 1.2
}
.big1 {
font-size: 1.29167em;
line-height: 1.2
}
.big2 {
font-size: 1.83333em;
line-height: 1.2
}
.calibre {
display: block;
font-size: 1em;
text-align: justify
}
.calibre1 {
border-bottom: 0;
border-top: 0;
display: block;
margin-bottom: 0.5em;
margin-top: 0.5em;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-top: 0;
text-indent: 0
}
.calibre2 {
display: block
}
.calibre3 {
font-style: italic
}
.calibre4 {
border-bottom: 0;
border-top: 0;
display: block;
font-style: italic;
margin-bottom: 0.5em;
margin-top: 0.5em;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-top: 0;
text-indent: 0
}
.calibre5 {
font-size: 0.75em;
line-height: normal;
vertical-align: super
}
.sgc {
border-bottom: 0;
border-top: 0;

}
.sgc6 {

}
On the book that is formatted exactly how I like it, I see this is the css :
@namespace h "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";

I still do not see anything in here telling me the font style.
Also is there a way to ensure that whatever the end solution I find is that will guarentee that the seetings I put in the css sheet tab in Calibre before conversion will not somehow get over written?
Thanks...
