Hi all, and thank you for the responses. I have noted your comments and have been playing with the blockquote and I will be using it in future instead of a "fake" quote.

Using the Live CSS previewer, I am having difficulty narrowing down where the extra margin is coming from. I guess I'll have to create a class rule for the p tag when used in a blockquote to negate the extra margin. See images

Thanks Turtle91, I'll use the blockquote in future. I'll play around with your rules.
Its weird because I have looked back at some other books I have reformatted, and the quotes using the same class rule work in some books, but not in others. I cannot see what is causing it. My stylesheet.css is copied from book to book, with only minor changes (italics for a heading for example)
I don't see a setting for Publisher's styling or similar. Only a setting for Publishers Default for font.

What makes a xhtml file a HTML5 file?

<blockquote class="blockquote"> (using the CSS I posted for .blockquote) has a bottom margin of 0. That means no whitespace after the last line of the blockquote at the end of the chapter. |
Thanks for that pointer. I'll be aware of that.
