Not everything can be automated. I for one would rather it wasn't, over automation is either hard to maintain or it does not deal adequately with the exceptions - some of which we haven't even thought of yet. Manual intervention to deal with exceptions introduces real intelligence.

I'm confused, is the style as per the Editors Blog post I linked to yesterday, used in The Netherlands never, sometimes or always. You seem to have said all three in different places. Not that that matters.
As someone posted elsewhere pick up any quality book published in the English Speaking world and you will see the style I prefer, as per the Editors Blog, which is as per Cambridge and Chicago, maybe not the OUP, by definition they're all card carrying members of the Contrarian Society.

This is a Test of Small Caps - where did this come from, its not in the DOCX
</body>
</html>
Besides the &NBSP; (which is blatantly wrong of course and will be fixed), it is as expected. It is identified by spans with the smallcaps style set in the settings for HTML Export. Empty paragraphs are by default converted to <p> </p>. I opted to use this instead of <p></p>, since empty tags are sometimes ignored. |
Mate, to be honest I don't care what the HTML looks like, its a means to an end. I only care about what the EPUB looks like in a viewer or on my Android Tablet and maybe in an Editor like Sigil or calibre's. As I already said, I am quite happy to forego the creation of EPUBs from my consideration because I already have an acceptable working solution for converting a DOCX to EPUB.
