Hi!

I'd like to know about a generated PDF's HTML structure. Wild guessing allowed me to find that the inner content of a page is wrapped in a tag with class .page, but that's pretty much about it.

Is there a resource showing the big picture of a generated PDF's structure?

As a matter of fact, what I'm trying to do is, through CSS, assign a background to the full extent of my PDF's pages (much like what happens for a cover page). I tried to assign a background-color to body, but it doesn't work. I was thinking maybe Calibre wraps the entire page inside a tag with a specific classname I could leverage.

Thank you!
