Kepub issue on centered text

senhal · 05-26-2024, 11:14 AM

Hello everyone,
when converting from epub to kepub with Calibre, I notice that in many cases the text-align:center is lost.
For example, this is a picture of how the epub comes out, while this is a picture of the same epub converted to kepub.
This is the code:

Code:

<body>

  <p class="autore">Don Robertson</p>

  <p class="titolo">L’ultima stagione</p>

  <p class="sottotitolo"><i>Traduzione di Nicola Manuppelli</i></p>

  <p class="editore">Nutrimenti</p>

</body>

Code:

body {
  font-size: 100%;
  font-family: serif;
}
p {
  text-indent: 1.2em;
  text-align: justify;
  margin: 0;
  widows: 1;
  orphans: 1;
}
.autore {
  font-size: 1em;
  margin-top: 2.4em;
  text-indent: 0;
  text-align: center;
}
.titolo {
  font-size: 2em;
  margin-top: 1.2em;
  text-indent: 0;
  text-align: center;
}
.sottotitolo {
  font-size: 0.85em;
  margin-top: 1em;
  font-style: italic;
  text-indent: 0;
  text-align: center;
}
.editore {
  font-size: 1em;
  margin-top: 7em;
  text-indent: 0;
  text-align: center;
}

Can anyone explain to me how to solve it?
Thank you

That's an easy fix. Go to the Aa menu and turn justification off. If you have justification set in the Aa menu,you lose center. So if you want left justify and the eBook is set to full justify, the way to fix it is to edit the CSS in the ePub to make it left justify. Same thing if the ePub is left justified and you want full justify.

Wow, thanks, it worked!
