Question

@namespace h "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
is placed at the top of the CSS stylesheet by Calibre. Does any one know the purpose of this string. I can't tell any difference if it is present or not except for a strange behavior, by CoolReader, if it IS present.

Regards - John

Serves no purpose that I am aware of. I never add a line like that to a CSS file.

What effect does it have on CoolReader?

With the header present the following does not work.It appears that the code does not exist - no part works.

<p class="asterisk">*****</p>
.asterisk {
display: block;
margin-top: .4em;
font-weight: bold;
text-indent: 0;
font-size: 1.2em;
text-align: center;
}

Aldiko, FBreader nor Mantano fail in this way. But CoolReader fails on Android Gingerbread, Honeycomb and ICS running on all CoorReader versins cr3.0.55-50 through cr3.0.57-14 that I have tried. It makes no sense to me.

It's some cc3 stuff. Probably why coolreader is having problem with it.
The header is there for <p class="asterisk">*****</p> to work on css3 compatible stuff.

The problem is that it works when the header is absent and does not work when the header is present.

I can upload the file if anyone wants to take a look. It is a Sci-Fi short story I downloaded from Gutenberg that needed a little work. Not a bad story.

BTW - An epub to epub conversion, by Calibre, didn't cure the problem. It made no changes to the stylesheet other than remove right and left margin definitions from one label and removed the semi-colons from the last definition in all labels.

I guess this is a CoolReader thing. I'll file a bug report, but nobody will believe me.
