I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong (or is this just an old version of base calibre)?
If I download an epub, and I have add to css set to add indentation to paragraphs (instead of double spacing), I get no indentation.
I can confirm that the new css is in the book (unzip, and look at stylesheet, and it is there).
If I convert, either to mobi (reader is kindle) or to epub (huh, odd you can convert to itself; odder still is that it actually makes changes), then the paragraph indents work.
It seems to only be an unconverted, downloaded ebook.
The affected readers are both the built-in one in Calibre (3.48, hence my concern about being old), and iBooks on mac 10.12 (*finally* figured out how to get it to read a book, given that there is no open file nor add to collection that works with a file on my computer. Never mind that even that version can't let me select a font (even kindle keyboards let me use my choice for alt font) or choose my own background color, and apple's extremely limited selection stinks.)
I am using calibre 3.48 because my primary OS -- mac 10.9.5 -- cannot run anything newer, and I want the same database of books to work whichever OS I'm using.
Code:
p { text-indent: 4en;
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
(I've tried different indents, using both "em" and "en". Same result.)
Odder still, I cannot even *find* the css for paragraph indenting in the new epub, yet it works.
