Personally, I'm still wondering about the person who created ebooks that mixed indented, unindented and hanging indented paragraphs within the body text. Took me back a few years to when you could tell a person who used a Macintosh by the ransom note appearance of their documents. Just because you can do it does not make it a good idea to do it. |
Even worse, when you get an eBook that's a box set or a collection of eBooks in one and they are all different using different style sheets and the XML formatting is different per eBook and the files are not named so it's easy to tell where one eBooks ends and another begins.
