Changing fonts in built in recipes

compurandom · 10-24-2022, 07:26 AM

In (most of?) the built in recipes, at the end of each article is a link.

The font of that link is extra small and makes it really hard to click on it.

How can I override that font size change and just make it the same size as the rest of the article?

Send these articles to your Kobo as KePub as it's easier to tap small footnotes with KePub then ePub.

If you mean the link to the article source, It's deliberately smaller than body text as its a footer and I want it to be unobtrusive. Still the link is a full URL, should be no problem clicking it, at pretty much any font size.

No, this has nothing to do with footnotes.

It's a kobo kepub problem. Make the url link small enough and it's near impossible to click on it without changing the font size. And I get a lot of articles that are link only with no body, which is fine, but I want to send the link to pocket...

Most of the time I agree with your choice here -- a small link at the bottom is perfect. But with a few news sources, I care about the headline and the link more than the article content, and I'd rather it wasn't so small, to the point where I'd rather have it larger in all recipes than small in that recipe.

You can add something line

Code:

.calibre_navbar {
font-size: 20pt !important
}

to extra_css in the recipe, but there is no global way to configure it.

Thanks for that clue. Adjusting that seems to help, but not fix the problem.

I think the kobo kepub reader just hates links within the top few and bottom few lines on the screen, as the tap function in that region is overloaded. It's actually easier to highlight words in the link than it is to click on it as a link.
