Luckily I enjoy righting html/css code wrongs to achieve proper chapter headings, dropcaps, scene breaks, and other typographical conventions. Making the changes makes a book nicer to read. The price of the book is like an entertainment tax. |
That's where I find Sigil's RemoveInLineStyles plugin handy. That and a mass of saved search/replace items.
The larger publishing houses and most of the indie authors have gotten a lot better but there's still quite a bit of crud being produced as in one recent book where every chapter had it's own styling, all of which were slightly different. Nothing like line and paragraph spacing and margins changing with every chapter to make reading a pain. In one chapter, a scene break is a 2em space, in another chapter, it was a 3em space with a graphic.
