Thanks for the reply.
How are the paragraphs with hanging indents rendered in the MOBI? Presumably not via a blockquote. The "inspect" function in the calibre viewer shows them as simple p elements. If that is so, why can the indented ones not be rendered the same way, so that each level of indent can be the same with and without the indent? It would matter much less what the actual indent was as long as a continuation paragraph matched the one above it.
It is frustrating not being able to see what is going on inside. Calibre says you can inspect the elements in a browser after clicking "explode epub", but that seems to only show the source formatting, not the formatting embedded in the mobi. Is there any way to see the mobi contents?
