If you have the CSS we discussed, either '<div class="toc"> </div>' or '<span class="toc"> </span>' will work, just '<div class="toc"> </div>' is better from a "markup aesthetics" standpoint. Just put the text you want to have no indent within the <div/> or <span/> element and you're good to go! |
So far I've been using Microsoft Word 97 to convert my RTF files to HTML because I can read the code more easily in that program. I'm mostly using 1997 level of html for my html documents when they are loaded into epub. I'm going to have to experiment more before I switch over and lately I just haven't had the time.
Though I am tempted to figure it out sooner rather than later since I found out that LRF files can cause my reader to crash/reboot...which is highly annoying. And also with any hope ePub will be added to more e-ink devices in the future...
but if I have to do substantial changes to my html files that would be a real hassle.
I think I'll have to adjust the font size myself because I like to be able to read the text big and clearly without having to magnify.
So do you think the stylesheet built into my html docs will convert over to ePub? I wasn't sure if Calibre overwrote what was written in the document? or maybe I should create an external stylesheet to link to?
but really the biggest obstacle to me switching over to ePub has more to do wtih lack of time to experiment with settings and find the one that I like best.
though I get the feeling the more I know about css the more control I'll have over presentation on my converted files.
Again, I can't thank you enough you've been very patient.
