Is there (or could you create) a list of specific syntax details like this somewhere? The Calibre FAQ says it supports TXT and HTML, when it supports subsets of these. I understand why, but it would be very useful to know the subsets.

For example, some time ago when a pdf-to-mobi conversion didn't do well, I looked into the pdf-to-html conversion and saw a bunch of absolute positioning
Quote:
<div style="position:absolute;top:523;left:91">
and no paragraph elements. I would guess that the html-to-mobi (or html-to-*) needs paragraph elements to generate paragraphs.

Specifically, what html elements are useful to the html-to-* converters? Ideally, should the absolute positioning I saw be "fixed" in pdf-to-html or html-to-*?

Thanks,
