Thanks Harry!

Sorry about the wrong sub-forum... I'm never certain about whether effects are caused by for example the mobi identity of the file or something Calibre does with it.

I've discovered that I can of course throw a line by using <br>. Trouble is, I tend to automatically ignore the obvious since the pagebreak command doesn't work and I have to devote a dummy header level to do that.

I'm going to have a go with smart quotes then. However I'll just have to rely on Calibre sorting them out as it seems to, since the "correct code page" you speak of is Greek to me.

I'm up against the 10MB limit which is why I'm trying to diagram in text if I can. The Kindle Previewer suggests the sort of thing below works successfully for most devices except the iPhone, but if iPhone viewers switch to the smallest type it's not too scrambled:

___ Coraciiformes: (kingfishers, hornbills, rollers, and allies)<br>
|<br>
| ____unnamed_ here_________<br>
| | ____[Alcedimiformes without trogons?]________<br>
| | |<br>
| | | kingfishers – Alcedo<br>
| | | motmots – Momotus<br>
| | | todies – Todus<br>
| | | ground rollers – Brachypteracias <br>
| | | 'core' rollers – Coracias<br>
| | | bee-eaters – Merops<br>
| | |___________________<br>
| |<br>
| | ____ Piciformes: (woodpeckers etc.)<br>
| | | <br>

Cheers and thanks.
