In the CSS, how would I go about fixing that until the next release is available?

Remove the .small declaration

Thank you very much. It worked.

In Book Designer, there is an option to control the word spacing. And for one of the books I am reading, lowering the amount of word spacing is a good thing to have.

Can all the 2LRF converters please have an option to control the word spacing? I would love to sometimes have less of a word spacing then the default.

I don't know if this is a bug ot not, but I'm finding another drop caps issue. The drop cap is fine, but the spacing between the drop cap and the rest of the word is too much. Can the drop cap be placed next to the rest of the word please? This is using lit2lrf. I'm assuming it also affects html2lrf as well. Anyway, the lIT I sent for the previous bug (now fixed) shows this issue as well.

Thanks!

Open a bug report and I'll get around to it.

JSWolf · 07-31-2007, 03:45 PM

Two reports filed.

JSWolf · 08-02-2007, 09:36 PM

In that same LIT file, where there are supposed to be graphics as part of the chapter heading, it just says image.

Also, how long till a new version that fixes that ToC bug is relased not that it is in SVN?

kovidgoyal · 08-02-2007, 09:41 PM

That's cause the images are missing from the lit file. I have a few piled up fixes I need to do before releasing the next version.

EDIT: Actually it's because the img tag is inside an <a> tag which html2lrf doesn't support for technical reasons

Can't you ignore the <a> tag and just deal with the img tag?

kovidgoyal · 08-02-2007, 11:42 PM

No because there are other situations where that would be the wrong thing to do. Unfortunately LRS doesn't support images in links, so this is the best compromise.

JSWolf · 08-02-2007, 11:44 PM

So the answer is to just ignore the image?

kovidgoyal · 08-02-2007, 11:50 PM

No it's to use the text in the alt field.

JSWolf · 08-03-2007, 02:06 AM

Is there any reason you cannot use the graphic without trying to make it a link?

kovidgoyal · 08-03-2007, 12:13 PM

It would be odd to have both the graphic and its text next to each other.

After I got my Reader with the cc offer, I started testing how to put books on it, and I found that I like best the lrf format so I converted about 60 reflowable books.

For reflowable books, I used lit2lrf for anything I had in lit form (maybe about 40 of the 60 books) and it worked unbelievably fast with excellent output.

Great, great program.
