CSS warnings in Calibre

fionamarg · 02-21-2016, 10:30 AM

Can anyone help with a query re Calibre error message? I'm getting the following error message: This CSS construct is not recognized. That means that it most likely will not work on reader devices. Consider replacing it with something else. On the following 3 items. I haven't a clue how to fix these, and the automatic fix isn't working with them:
-moz-hyphens: none;
adobe-hyphenate: none;
hyphens: none;

If anyone can help, I'd be extremely grateful. I urgently need to fix these, in order to upload a novel to a review site, which seems to be identifying a problem - which I assume is the above!

It is a warning (advice), not a specific error. There is no general 'Fix"

just look at what they are.

they imply instructions on how to use hyphens... and from the looks, for 3 different render systems.

In General, if a system does not recognize a well formed command, it is supposed to ignore it.
If you happen to have one of those few devices that fails the ignore bit, remove those lines. all you lose is the fine control of hyphens that the coder demanded.

Beware, the calibre book viewer, or the File Preview within calibre's edit book function are quite capable to process almost any CSS instructions, which your particular e-reader might not.
So what you see within the calibre viewers might not exactly be the same as on your e-reader. You have to experiment a little for the best results.
