valid code but too complicated for e-reader
I observe that my sony T3 had trouble with opening lines like:
<p class="noindent1">B<small class="calibre10">RINSOP</small> C<small class="calibre10">HURCH WAS</small> locked now. ...
basically, the T3 fails to justify the 1st line, leaves it short when there is visibly room for another word or so.
My observation is that is happens when more than one of the opening words are capitalised i.e. it is the shifting in and out of small class letters that is confusing it.
it is annoying when reading as about 20& of chapter openings are affected & I am not sure of best fix.
it could be that removing the class after the <small would help but I am not sure how well small is honoured in e-readers ?
so does this form part of a larger set of "valid" CSS that should be avoided for max compatibility & if so where would I find more about that ?
I have been fixing the worst annoyances manually by putting everything except the 1st letter into a single small class. the reader copes with that, but composing a regex to automate it is scary.
The publishers rule seems to be that the 1st 3 words go into small, but not any capitalisation.
I manually change the given example to this & its fine:
<p class="noindent1">B<small class="calibre10">RINSOP CHURCH WAS</small> locked now.
