Calibre Some text Behind / cut in half
Used the De acsm plugin to get rid of the Drm. So I got a Epub file But some of the text in the book looks like this image. Not sure why it looks like that. If it's the book that is like that or if it somehow is a setting in calibre. Have tried to convert to pdf but it looks the same.

Css will have the definitions of class="computerLine"
something like Code:
computerline {
margin-left: 4.0em;
margin-top: 0;
text-align: left;
}
heading4CodeSnippetTitle {
//more stuff
}
EDIT That does though look like horrid HTML Last edited by Quoth; 07-22-2025 at 05:47 PM. |

Sorry I think I found the CSS
This is the gray Headline thingy Code:
/* image caption text */
figcaption.figcaptionCodeSnippet {
color: #505759;
font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif;
max-width: 680px;
margin: 0.75em auto 0.45em auto;
padding: 0;
font-size: 0.90em;
font-weight: 400;
line-height: 1.5em;
letter-spacing: 0.02em;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
Code:
.codeSnippet[data-startNumber] pre,
.codeNoHighlight[data-startNumber] pre {
counter-reset: line;
border-left: 1px solid #ddd;
background: transparent!important;
margin-left:4em;
overflow: visible !important;
position: relative;
}

Found this one aswell I think the code block is called pre
Code:
div.divCodeSnippetFigure pre span.computerLine,
div.divCodeSnippetFigure pre span.codeNoHighlightLine,
div.codeNoHighlight pre span.computerLine,
div.codeNoHighlight pre span.codeNoHighlightLine {
display:block;
}
.codeSnippet[data-startNumber] pre,
.codeNoHighlight[data-startNumber] pre {
counter-reset: line;
border-left: 1px solid #ddd;
background: transparent!important;
margin-left:4em;
overflow: visible !important;
position: relative;
}

I use the CSS edit feature of Calibre conversions to completely delete line-height as that should only be done, if at all, on web sites. The font metrics set relative line heights correctly.
you can add margin-bottom: 0.5em; to figure text etc to increase spacing. I'm suspicious of the position: relative; https://www.w3schools.com/Css/css_positioning.asp I never see the position property in any ebooks I've ever edited or created, but I never ever have fixed layout (epub3) ebooks. However I've never seen the counter-reset property either https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_...nter-reset.php Note: epub uses HTML5 and CSS3, but only a subset. Not everything that works on a webpage works in an ebook. The Calibre viewer is actually more "forgiving" than actual ereaders, so if it's bad on the Calibre viewer it's bad! The W3C is a useful reference as long as you understand it's less true for ebooks. |

Thanks for the help. Interestingly enough when I watch the page in the editor it looks normal it's when I use the eBook viewer the book looks weird in the text blocks
