Talking My first EPUB! Need advice on best practices
Hi. I'm new here.

I'm in the process of creating my first EPUB using Sigil, and I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying the process!

I used to construct XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS2 websites, so constructing an EPUB is coming quite naturally to me.

I just conducted a Web search for a CSS template to use in my EPUB. I found one that recommends this statement:

Code:
@page {margin: 10px;}
Apparently, this statement adds margins around every page to stop Adobe Digital Editions' line numbers from being superimposed over the content.

In other words, this is a fix for a known problem with Adobe Digital Editions.

Questions
  1. Is this statement still necessary?
  2. Are there any other "fixes" or best practices that I should be following to ensure maximal compatibility?
