Is the odd output from the sigil prince pdf epub conversion?
After trying various combinations of prince style.css with the epub stylesheet I settled on a very simple prince style.css. I am not into printing pdfs for books so all the @page referencing counters and left and right pages etc, I don't have in my prince stylesheet. I also prefer to add page numbers post processing.
Basically I just have something like this (fonts as required).
@font-face {
font-family: serif;
src: local("Linux Libertine")
}
@font-face {
font-family: serif;
src: local("Noto Serif")
}
@page {
size: 6.5in 8.5in;
margin: 5mm 5mm 5mm 7mm !important;
}
@prince-pdf {
prince-pdf-open-action: zoom(fit-page)
}
body {
widows: 1;
orphans: 1;
text-align: justify;
font-size: 1.4em;
hyphens: auto;
}
Prince reads the epub css first so I specify font family weight and style there.
I have duplicates of sigil prince plugins set to different sizes. So the general pdf layout is the same except for screen size and font family/size.
I want as much text as possible to fill the ipad screen, so I leave the margins clean of things like author names/chapter titles.
One thing I do in the epub stylesheet before conversion to pdf is have the toc link 2 ways. Entries in toc>ch heading, ch heading>toc.
