Microsoft Word to EPUB conversion letter list problem or mismatch

JeanDolphin · 10-13-2020, 09:34 PM

I couldn't find a way to get around it. I am not too sure it is a setting problem. Kindle create does the same thing. In a long list from "a" to "z", after the conversion does not match the list from Word, as an example

a. apple
b. test 1
c. test 2

...

z. orange

in Word after "z", the next follow is "aa", "bb", "cc", however in Calibre is "ab", "ac" and so forth Kindle create tool does the same thing. Is there a way to get around this. I couldn't find a way to fix it.

My understanding is that Ordered Lists are unreliable.
You may have confirmed this

I know spreadsheets have a tool that converts calculated values to absolute ones. Does ord have somthig like
Caution: Keep an edit Master (still has the <li> ) in case you need to make edits

No, it's a limitation of how list numbering works in HTML/CSS.

And aa, bb, cc is wrong!

I thought it was going to be possible to go and edit the hmtl file and change the tag list, but I am not able to see them. When I look at the html tags in the editor it does not show lettering list like "a", "b" and so forth.

I just want to make the printed version consistent with the electronic version
