My view of BPH processes grows dimmer by the day.

Unfortunately I haven't the time atm to test every change systematically, so I don't know what caused the problem yet. I'll try to do that, but I'm way behind with everything.

Not to be a tired old recording, but: if you don't do that, what did you learn?

An interesting experience, trying not to use automation. I don't know would I recommend it; although at least I can be confident of the markup logic if not the css.

Did you create the entire ePUB by hand? All the markup and the CSS? That's an excellent learning method.
I wouldn't count on the "markup logic," based on the discussion thus far. BUT, if the final ePUB passes ePUBcheck, AND does what you want when converted...I guess that gets you where you want to go. My inference is that you are more interested in getting your book published, than really learning the nuts and bolts, is that correct? Or am I mistaken? Sorry--I don't really recall the beginning of the thread.
