List of Calibre CSS defaults?

ivanabq · 06-21-2013, 01:18 AM

When a book format is really messed-up, I use the "Tweak Book" option. This explodes the book into HTML files I can edit. In these files are tags that refer to Calibre default (or standard) CSS's. Rather than experiment with what these tags do, is there a list or database or reference that shows those underlying styles?

I have sure looked, but I can't find it.

Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken there should be a stylesheet.css file within EPUBs. That exact file name is not mandatory, so the name might change; the extension will remain .css though.

I'm not sure if Tweak Book allows editing the css or if you would have to edit it through some other means (like Sigil).

First:
There is NO 'default' Calibre CSS.
Each and every one is custom crafted (analyzed) to the source document.
Although, seeing a common .calibre { (the body style) is not unusual as this was a result of YOUR conversion settings.4

Second:
Yes, you can edit ANY file opened with 'Tweak' as long as you know what the consequences of the change can reap
