Mini Spacing between two lines

coubi64 · 01-19-2014, 05:55 AM

I don't manage to change spacing between two lines in some of my epub books.

Changing spacing in the ereader doesn't have any effect.

I tried to convert book with calibre with no success.

Do you know how to solve my problem?

Try adding line-height to the list of other CSS properties in the filter list.

But this is a brute force solution, and might have some undesirable consequences (for example multi-line titles and headings in large font sizes may overlap). A better solution, if you are not satisfied with the results, is to edit the .css stylesheet manually, removing line-height lines only from the classes used to display the main text, but leaving those lines in place (or adding them in with a moderate line height of say 1.2em if not present) to classes used for headings etc.

Edit: If you don't want to edit the .css manually you could also try adding h1,h2,h3,h4 {line-height:1.2} to the Extra CSS (CSS supplementaire) list. But this will not work if the publisher has done something stupid like using p instead of h1,h2, etc. for headings.

Converting to mobi and back (epub to mobi then mobi to epub) will usually allow you to change your spacing etc. with the mini with minimal changes in style etc.

Thank you for your help. The second solution (convert to mobi then back to epub) worked (as a newbie it was easier for me).

Is it possible to remove then the original epub and mobi version in the historic?

Yes. The new epub does not require the two previous files.

There are several ways to delete a format in calibre:

- On the dialog that the snippet is from, select the book and press the recycle button.
- In the book list, right-click on the book and select the "Remove books" option and the appropriate option under that. This is good for removing the format from a set of books or the form.
- Select the book in the book list, and right click on the link to the format in the details pane and select the delete option.

Right click on the book and selecte "Remove Books" followed by "Remove files of a specific format fron selected books" and then pick the formats you want to drop.
