You would not believe some of the stuff I see in some 'Retail' books.
(Retail, simply means that it was sold, not home made
)
Even BPH crank out cr*p because they hire coders that can't even follow 'House Stylesheet' rules.
Even Baens (conversion?) EPUBs include an additional nested Div for each chapter split, so by the 10th chapter, the CODE is indented half way across the screen. I have a 'BaenDeDiv saved search&replace that I run against all files (sometimes as many as 50 passes). The book looks fine. The code
was bloated and Ugly.
I suspect you have a bad case of nested Blockquote (they should have used a Div (or nothing) )
Amateurs (coders):
They come in all kinds. Top Quality to 'Not a clue"
If the book won't validate (with no red error level), I can figure where they fall.
Validate, is only the first step
Next is getting rid of code that only appears to work (Calibre class viewers tolerate lots of cr*p that many devices abort or lockup on)
stuff like:
Code:
<p></p>
<span> </span>
(somebody's REGEX was wrong
)
