Automatically Fixing Nested Lists

Rand Brittain · 09-01-2017, 10:37 PM

It used to be that some part of Calibre, or possibly it was Sigil, was able to automatically fix nested lists by wrapping them in a <li style="list-style: none; display: inline"> tag. Possibly it was an older version that operated Fix HTML in a different way, or similar.

Does anybody remember exactly what function that was, and what I would have to do to get it to do that once again? I'm working on an EPUB with a bunch of nested lists, and it would be really convenient if I could do that automatically so it would pass ePubCheck validation without my having to manually tag them all.

calibre certainly never did that. Fix HTML in calibre has always only fixed HTML parsing errors, never epubcheck errors.

It may have been one of the scripts that Sigil previously used, then.

Ah, well, I went ahead and did it manually, so ePubCheck has decided to accept it now.
