Thank Goodness. I thought that all my admin time away from the day-to-day had dulled my wits. (No cracks, boys.)

Ixnay, Jon. Nix gots.

Yep. There ISN'T anything else except inline stuff that isn't very helpful, either. The usual "line-height =x" and that's about it.

[page]The named @page types are being properly created in the external style sheet, but the div class selectors they're being assigned to don't exist in the xhtml. The linked, external stylesheet is utterly extraneous.[/QUOTE]

Right. It's like...it's like somebody took a CSS sheet from a fixed-layout ePUB, somewhere, and slapped it in a...I dunno, Mobipocket Creator HTML file (zip) and didn't bother to make the named classes appear in the HTML, or vice-versa. It's bloody WEIRD, Jon.

Hell, you're a big kid, open it and look. It's bizarre. I'm telling you, the CSS from book A, and the HTML from Book Zed. With NOTHING connecting them.
