Hi Alki,
I tried this utility, and it seems to work well, though I have only tried it in epub so far and opened in Calibre.
My original test file had indented paragraphs, and Alkinea added to the indent dramatically, taking what was a 1cm indent and increasing it about threefold. I thought I'd slip in a drop cap on the first two characters of the opening paragraph - an indented quote ("Solace Conlon murdered..."), which is a reasonably hard task, and Alkinea pushed the "olace" a fair way to the right, about 12 characters.
When I have time, I shall read through your help files so I can use the application a bit better, and let you know how I went.
The application doesn't seem to offer quite as much as the plugin for LibreOffice "writer2epub". In LO, my indents were retained, although it too, had a bit of an issue with the drop cap, though not so much as Alkinea.
Still, it is a neat little application and stand alone: the LO plugin has taken charge of one of my toolbars, inserting its icons in there.
Many thanks for giving us access to it. I would not have known of it otherwise.
Cheers,
