Error customizing new css files

eschwartz · 09-12-2014, 04:30 PM

Using the following css in Preferences ==> Editor Settings ==> Change templates:

Code:

h1, h2, h3 {
  text-align: center;
}
p {
  text-indent: 1.5em;
  margin: 0;
}
.scenebreak {
  text-align: center;
  text-indent: 0%;
  margin: 1em;
}

I get the following error when I try to create new css files.

Code:

calibre 2.3* [64bit]  isfrozen: True is64bit: True
Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1 Windows ('64bit', 'WindowsPE')
('Windows', '7', '6.1.7601')
Python 2.7.8
Windows: ('7', '6.1.7601', 'SP1', 'Multiprocessor Free')

  File "C:\Users\seli\git\calibre\src\calibre\gui2\tweak_book\templates.py", line 46, in template_for
KeyError: u'\n  text-align'

When I revert the template and then manually copy-paste my css in, Check Book reports clean.

You need to escape the braces like this:

body {{
whatever
}}
