First letter in chapter large and in wrong place, how to change?

shootist · 11-13-2015, 09:00 AM

I converted a book from azw to epub. Worked beautifully we except the first letter of every chapter is a little large and during conversion it got moved on top of other words. How do I change this?

Turn off font size rescaling in the look and feel section of the conversion dialog.

You could also run it through the editor (analyze what you seeand write the REGEX) and recode it to an Initial Cap

Code:

OLD <P class="xxx">B</p>
<p class="aregularp">ad letter placed.</p>

Code:

Add to CSS:  .bigl {font-size: 1.8em; }

Code:

NEW: +<p class="aregularp"><span class="bigl">B</span>ad letter placed.</p>

Even after disabling font resizing I get this.

I will need the azw3 file, in that case: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=186697

You could also stop converting KF8 > ePub and instead do it the proper way of using KindleUnpack to shift the code from a KF8 container to an ePub container. All you have to do after that is load the ePub into the editor, check for errors, fix all errors and done. The code will not (hardly if at all) be changed. Most KF8 starts life as ePub. So going back won't be much of an issue.
