Hi,

i offen convert scanned books to epub using first abbyy finereader and then using sigil or calibre editor. abbyy finereader is using css to format the text (bold, italic, ...) and not html (<b>,<i>,...). Sometimes i have to make a lot of customize the epub file because abby finereader makes crazy things. a lot of css in the code doesnt make it easier. sigil and calibre can display bold or italic text as bold or italic directly in the code. html is much shorter then css and its clearer.

There is nbothing i can do in Finereader so that FR is using HTML instead of CSS when creating the ePub file. Can sigil or calibre do this? converting the most important css into html? something like:

Code:

<span style="font-weight: bold;">text</span>

into

Code:

<b>text</b>

Or can this be done with a normal html editor?
