4. THere is no way to gruarantee "correct" conversion of a dropcaps, just as there is no way to guarantee correct display of one. It depends on the font size/dpi/other css settings, you will need to play with them.
5. The best way to display images with margins zero is to use the standard svg cover markup that calibre generates for its epub cover pages. That is guaranteed to work. |
1. bug report opened.
2. thank you
3. Apologies for this. I saved indeed easily my PDF conversion preferences.
4. I'll come back on this one later.
5. About full-page images
I'd like to come back on this point, because this puzzles me: when the right conversion options are ticked, Calibre converts precisely the cover image (margin 0). However, it adds margins to other images using the exact same code, even when they are isolated in their own file.
Here is the very plain code (without even a reference to a stylesheet) I use. I fail to understand why it should not work for all images making use of it.
This code is well displayed with the ePub (with Calibre viewer too). As for PDF, I think that to allow a different treatment between the cover image and others images using exactly the same code does not seem to be right, the more so since this relative value seem to be well suited for the PDF fixed display.
