I converted an html-page that contains some lines like this:

Code:

<span style="font-size:1em">This is a note </span><span style="font-size:0.7em">5 </span><span style="font-size:1em">and should be in one line.</span>

Why does the ebook-viewer and also my Sony PRS 505 (sometimes) break up the line into 2 lines? The Result looks something like this:

Code:

This is a note

5 and should be in one line.

As said its not always the case, but it IS sometimes the case even if the line is very short!

Is there no way to prevent such random paragraphs?

use   instead of spaces.

Do you mean that I should replace each space in my html-file with a   and afterwards convert it to epub?

Unfortunately all lines in the outcoming epub are too long :-)

Well yeah, if you use   everywhere then the line wont break at all.
