Dekker500 · 04-10-2021, 11:12 AM

Hi there.
I'm working with numerous documents which, for ease of mass-editing, I'd like to keep in .TXT format.

I have no problems converting them to EPUB format. Everything seems fine.

HOWEVER

I'd like to modify (or even replace) the default CSS that gets embedded into the .EPUB. When I use epub-convert with the --extra-css "blah.css", the contents are added to the "contents.xhtml" in a style block, but no-where else!

Is it possible to embed contents into the "stylesheet.css", or add a new "style.css" to be loaded alongside it, for the entire "book"? Maybe I am missing something in the command line arguments - ideas?

Code:

ebook-convert '.\input.txt' '.\output.epub' --formatting-type markdown --input-encoding UTF-8 --markdown-extensions=footnotes,tables,toc,smarty,nl2br --paragraph-type=single --epub-inline-toc --extra-css "./custom.css"
