Impossible to "steal" something which is intangible!! Are we not all here to make better ebooks?

But feel free to copy/emulate what we learn here in this topic!

Also, feel free to also take a look at any of the 100+ books I have worked on over the past year (almost all Non-Fiction Economics books) and give comments/tips/suggestions. It will be much appreciated.

I also must begin compiling all these tips/tricks I have absorbed from the forums into one ultimate resource. Sometimes these goodies just disappear into the abyss... never to be seen again!

Oh? Which book?

Thanks, but I was aiming more for the "one line" solution.. although this looks to be viable as well.

I use spans in the paragraph but they are both defined before the text of the paragraph, (otherwise they don't float properly.) Works with my Sony reader which is ADE based. (I think this is really the same as mzmm's solution, but I prefer using span.)

I spent a few minutes on Agama's test EPUB, and I believe I have figured out what the problem is:

This code works fine in ADE (as Agama's EPUB shows) (See Image 1):

<p class="cen"><span class="fll">(1)</span> <span class="flr">(1)</span> A lot more text than normal Text</p>

This code does not work fine in ADE (See Image 2):

<p class="cen"><span class="fll">(1)</span>A lot more text than normal Text <span class="flr">(1)</span></p>

I even tried this (no space), but it was also dropped down a line:

<p class="cen"><span class="fll">(1)</span>A lot more text than normal Text<span class="flr">(1)</span></p>

Quite frustrating... I wanted the formula number to still be on the right side if the floating failed.... now it seems as if I will have to move them all to the beginning of the formula to appease the ADE gods.
