Line height. - preferred css settings

sunny1z · 01-27-2013, 08:58 AM

In some of the ePub files I have there is a fixed line height setting.

Do you know how to get rid of it? What extra CSS can I add?

Do you have preferred CSS settings for your reading experiences?

I hand edit the CSS in the end.
T(weak) , explode the book, locate and edit the CSS with Notepad++, click rebuild. or edit with Sigil.

I have noticed that you do need a line-height: <value> if the book uses any different size letters in the block.

On the Convert - Look&Feel page on the Filter Style Info tab (in the middle of the page) you should be able to type line-height into the Other CSS Properties box. I think ALL occurrences of line-height will be removed which may or may not cause other aesthetic problems.
