That's a
huge improvement – many thanks!
Please consider allowing us the use of <b></b> and <i></i> tags, for
bold and
italics, in custom headers and footers.
To illustrate, here is my current setup of custom headers and footers in Marvin
(click for full size):
Or, to zoom in on the footer directly:
Hope you can see what I'm getting at. That's a
lot of data in a single footer, right? But I find each component crucial, so I'd certainly like to keep all the data in the footer. Yet it would certainly help if I could structure the data better, using
bold,
italics, and
bold italics. Some data in that footer are more important than other data. (Ditto for header.) Right now, I have structured the footer so that the most important data is at the very start (percentage inside book) and at the very end (pages left in chapter) of the footer – those initial and final numbers tend to stand out the most quite naturally. But having
bold and
italics at one's disposal would help even further, in organizing the data in the footer clearly.
PS: This screenshot also illustrates the damnable page-count issue. It's a screenshot from the first page of the book's final chapter – and Marvin claims that that final chapter is
both 11
and 5 pages long!
The correct data is, of course, 5, whereas the "left in book" data (11) is totally off. (And so is "195", of course.) After "flipping the page" (13-inch iPad Pro here), the "11" goes down to 9 or 8, then to 6 or 5, etc. – utter nonsense.
