Two problems, fonts and page break.

tattyjacket · 03-20-2021, 08:37 AM

Hi group.
My needs are simple I think. I've written a short story using iBook Author and saved it as an ePub file. I can load it into Calibre but when I convert it to a Kindle file,
1) The page breaks often come in the wrong place. I think I've solved this by using <P style="page-break-before: always">.
2) Sometimes the fonts are wrong? What is the command in the HTML code that controls fonts?

Tags should NOT be uppercase (that was really old HTML)

font-family: foo, serif <replace foo with font list, change serif if other face as a fallback

Learn to use a stylesheet

, it will make changes lots easier
