Now since I cannot see why the priginal publisher would have included a reference to Calibre specific styles in the .epub it strikes me that "Cocoa" must be a tool used by Calibre to convert the document from its original .epub to the internal xhtml format used by Calibre. In which case the problem is in the conversion to xhtml. But why would the Cocoa tool convert to a style which is misinterpreted by the Chromium code which Calibre has chosen to use for layout?
When I look at a book from the same publisher (actually the immediately preceding volume in the same series) the internal Calibre file looks like:
My goal is to avoid other users of Calibre from encountering this frustration, not just to fix the problem for myself. |
As for why the publisher has references to calibre styles? Probably that Baen uses calibre to convert to epub. AFAIK, "Cocoa HTML Writer" is part of MacOS X. BTW, the version of calibre used by Baen has generally been on the old side.
And for what it is worth, calibre does not modify an epub file imported into it's library unless you edit, polish Modify Epub, etc. the file. When you send the epub to your ereader, save to disk, etc., the metadata updates stored in the metadata.opf file stored in the same directory as the epub will be used to update the metadata in the copy of the epub but the original in the library does not get modified unless you choose to do so.
