Hello everyone,
I've been working on creating an ePub using Sigil, and for the most part, I'm thrilled with the results. However, I've hit a snag that's quite frustrating. I designed a specific text format within my book (as shown in the attachment),
and after numerous attempts to create a single codebase for both Kindle Previewer and ePub3, I've settled on using a table layout.
While this looks decent in the Kindle Previewer, the rendering on the most popular ePub readers on Android is a nightmare.
It seems that the default styles of apps like Moon+ Reader are overriding my custom table styles, resulting in a very unprofessional look.
I’m also aware of the "Publisher Formatting" feature available in some eReaders like Moon+ Reader but I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require my readers to use a specific app or have advanced knowledge of it. I'd like my ePub to be as user-friendly and versatile as possible, which is why I'm turning to you all for advice.
I'm seeking your advice on how to best tackle this issue:
Should I create a separate code for MOBI/KPF where I retain the table and attempt something with display:flex for ePub3?
Is there a better way to mark an important text fragment that I'm not aware of?
Any other suggestions or best practices you could recommend?
It's incredibly disheartening because the styling looks perfect on Sigil's preview page and on Windows readers. Any advice to help me solve this cross-platform formatting challenge would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time and help!
