Hi! Calibre is great! Many thanks to the developers!

I was wondering, is there a way to prevent Calibre from generating and adding page margins to epubs?

From what I can tell, Calibre automatically takes settings from Prefs > Page Setup > Margins and adds them to each epub thus:

margin-left/right get added to .calibre in stylesheet.css
margin-top/bottom get added with an @page command either at the top of each html file or in the new page_styles.css generated in v0.8.51 (thanks for moving this to an external stylesheet!)

What I would like is for these margin commands not to be added at all.

I've tried deleting the entries in Prefs > Page Setup > Margins, but that doesn't work, the settings can't be empty/blank. Entering zero doesn't help, as that just sets the margins to zero.

If it matters, I'm using "Default Output Profile."

Any suggestions? Thx!
