Hi All,

Up until now I have not used CSS on my work, for the simple reason to keep everything clean and accessible to most Ebook readers. I now understand this to be incorrect and that most devices will interpret CSS successfully.

Can anyone point me in the direction of good tutorials in CSS? Or are there good ebook templates available.

My books are pretty simple affairs which will have, usually: Chapter Number, Chapter Title, full out and indented paragraphs and line spaces to denote timeline breaks within chapters.

Sometimes they may also include: Chapter Subheading, A, B and C subheads, Extracts and Poetry.

I do understand CSS in its most basic form but when it comes to div, span, class etc. I am a complete beginner.

I am a "one-man-band" and do get paid, very badly it must be said, so this is a commercial venture, I will understand any reticence on anyone's part to help. But, at the end of the day, we are all, I think, interested in making ebooks as nice and accessible as possible ... correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyway, guys and gals, thanking you all in advance.

John.
