page border

[hobnail]

Stuck inside and bored. Nothing important or needed, just curious about this.

Is it possible to make a page border to, for example, put it around a title page, one made by the calibre Generate Cover plugin?

Simplest example would be a solid line. I tried this in the CSS:

.broider {
    border-width:  28px;
    border-style:  solid;
 }

With the html having 'body class="broider"'. On the Kobo that gave me a black border on the left, right, and top, but not the bottom.

This is what made me wonder if I could do it:

There are several ways to get what you want but in epub2 only works with ereaders based on WebKit. If you want to read the epub in RMSDK (ADE), then you are not lucky. Here you can see an epub3 chapter title with borders (colors are so you can watch better the layout; of course, this is only one way -there are others- to get the output you want) that looks ok in ADE:



Author's name is vertical aligned on top and Editor's name is vertical aligned on bottom (all others files are vertical-align: center). Of course, you can change the height of the rows as you wish.

If you convert the epub3 in epub2, you can see the same with ereaders based on webkit (your kobo for example, with the extension .kepub).

I have always had to specify a border-color (along with Width and style). I think RMSDK defaults to clear/white
