Hello,
I have been creating several ebooks with SIGIL. I leave the html code as clean as possible and control the appearance directly from a stylesheet. So instead of using inline styles for each paragraph I just use one selector for all paragraphs in the stylesheet. In Sigil the book looks exactly the way I want but when viewed in other software:
1. ADE - Headings and div tags are no longer centered, everything is indented (First paragraph should not be indented)
2. MoonReader - Line height is increased, headings are left aligned, no indentation whatsoever, open double quotes (&ldquo
are converted to ".
3. Coolreader - Better than the rest in terms of CSS suport but doesn't load embedded font properly even though there's a tick box for that in the option menu.
4. Nook Simple touch - On the device the book looked best
5. Nook Simple touch android apk - not as in the device
I am not using any complicated css codes, just simple selectors and decedent selectors. I am really baffled why these readers seem to throw away my settings. I really hate reading a book that is not properly formatted.
In fact moonreader comes with 3 free wbooks and in all of them the text is left-justifed (no indentation). Really, who is making these software !! Surely, there's a reason why indentations were introduced in the first place.
Might it be possible that I should use inline styles instead?
Your inputs are welcomed and please recommend any android apk that supports even basic CSS (some pretend to).
Thanks
