And it perfectly works... on the crossing out part of the style. Every book I open is completely decorated... 
Hey, in Terry Pratchet's "The Carpet People", I have even found a page starting with a widow line and ending with an orphan one. 
Now seriously, have any of you made widows and orphans work as expected? |
Those may not have been orphans or widows -- I've found a quite a few ebooks that have lines such as <p> </p> to supply a nice wide space between paragraphs. Since the paragraph is only a single line, the widows/orphans setting has no effect on them. Not to mention the dimbulbs who put a mass of blanks lines at the end of a chapter just to ensure we will get a blank page between chapters. The commercially produced epubs seem to be some of the worst offenders when it comes to questionable code.
I was checking with 3.0.0 and several of the changes I put into the kepub-book.css are no longer showing up. I'm currently browsing for some non-DRMed kepub.epub books so I can a look at the internal CSS to see if any changes have been made.
