Help with formatting

MajC · 07-04-2011, 07:48 AM

Having trouble getting the text to appear as it does in the original book. For example, page numbers run into the bottom of the last paragraph. Text for poems are not single-spaced as they appear in the original book. The appearance, therefore, is not neatly-arranged as in typical book-reading style.

Any suggestions on how I can fix these formatting issues in order to read the e-book more easily?

Poetry formatting can be a pain (and well outside a global type adjustment that the Viewer CSS was intended to perform). I believe there are some great tips for hand coding poetry over in the EPUB forum.

Running into Page numbers at the bottom?? This might be a 'margins' issue.
