This code is really easy to get rid of just but simple search & replace in Calibre for:
then
and so on and so forth, after you're done you're left with a lot of </span>'s so just use "Beautify all files" function and voila, youre HTML files are clean.
If you get some more annoying code such as:
Quote:
|
<p id="block_1"><b class="calibre_pb_1"></b></p>
|
in the next file you might see:
Quote:
|
<p id="block_2"><b class="calibre_pb_2"></b></p>
|
notice the running numbers.. what you want to do is use regex search & replace (also available in calibre) and it goes like this:
Search for:
Quote:
|
<p id="block_[0-9]*"><b class="calibre_pb_[0-9]*"></b></p>
|
Voila! those silly page breaks calibre makes are gone.
As for fixing the styling back to place, most of those spans calibre creates are repeated styling and usually contains only 2 rules, so it's rather easy to look at the CSS and see what kind of styling was applied on those spans and put them into the
calibre25 css style.
