MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Sigil default styles in Android Epub readers

canopus56 · 07-29-2017, 09:54 PM

(1) I have been using Sigil as an authoring tool but notice that when using the Aldiko epub reader for Android that words marked for indexing are underlined, but when pressed do not go to the index. Is there some fix for this, e.g. - auto linking to the index on clicking or overriding the underlining for index hyperlink markups? Stylistically, this makes reading the document annoying. The document passes www3c and epub3 validation.

(2) To the Sigil generated document compatible with mobile epub readers, is there a default stylesheet url that links to the base Sigil styles, e.g. something similar to the declaration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

Or would such a step be redundant?

Thanks, Kurt
