IMHO your process is backwards
Calibre makes a
rough(er) first pass EPUB from an external format
Then you
polish the EPUB with Sigil.
For normal (indented) paragraphs, you need this line in the CSS (class)
selector:
Calibre does not always use the same
selector name... Look at the paragraph in question.
Code:
<p class="calibre5">...
remember the green part
Now in the CSS, find (dot)
.calibre5 {
add or change the line: (pay attention to the trailing semi-colon. all lines, except the last,
must have a semicolon. the last line one optional)
Code:
text-indent: 1.5em;
For bullet lists (we will NOT use HTML lists as they can be a pain), things get tricky:
Make a new class selector in the CSS. I will use
.bullet
Code:
/* a hanging indent used for lists */
.bullet {
display: block;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 4.5em;
margin-right: 0;
margin-top: .5em;
text-indent: -1.5em;
}
.nobullet { /* use for additional paragraphs of a bullet item */
display: block;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 4.5em;
margin-right: 0;
margin-top: .5em;
text-indent: 0;
}
adjust the left margin and text-indent values/ratio to taste
