Page break before

flowoeB · 04-12-2009, 01:16 PM

i'm close to getting nuts:

i try to convert mobi to lrf and want a pagebreak before every 

but if i enter b as expression to break before it also breaks before every 

how can i get this to work without editing the html file by replacing the eg with <h2> and use h2 as expression for the break?

Use

Code:

^b$

I just tried

html2lrf --force-page-break-before-tag "b$" --verbose test.html

on the file

Code:

<html>
    <p>one<b>two<br>three</p>
        </html>

and it correctly inserted a page break after one but not after two

converting mobi -> lrf it doesn't work somehow - or i'm doing something terrible wron - or am allready nuts...

Use mobi2oeb to get the html from the MOBI then convert that using html2lrf. That way you can see what's going on in more detail

i can confirm at least: the html file that i made the mobi file from converts perfect ( b$ adds breaks only after )
as soon as i try to convert the mobi itself b$ adds breaks to and

found the problem:

 gets translated to <spawn class = "bold">

I would still urge to use ^b$. b$ should match any tag that ends with b (e.g. ), while ^b$ should match only .

kovidgoyal · 04-12-2009, 02:51 PM

calibre uses match not search which means ^ is implied

flowoeB · 04-12-2009, 02:57 PM

so, after there are no how do i get a page break before
<spawn class = "bold">
?

kovidgoyal · 04-12-2009, 03:01 PM

--force-page-break-before-attr

flowoeB · 04-12-2009, 03:05 PM
