I have an ebook that I have successfully converted to a number of formats and now I'm trying to get it into Palm's PDB format. However, the conversion seems to lose all formatting. My source file is an HTML file and centering text is not working first of all. I am using both <p align="center"> and <center> tags but neither seem to yield proper results.

The conversion also entirely ignores <br/> line-breaks.

In addition <b> bold tags and <i> italic tags are completely ignored it appears.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a general limitation of the PDB format?

Thanks for any suggestions and thoughts.
