I would have simply replaced (use regex)

  <div class="calibre10"> M
  </div>
 
  <p>

with

#
  <p class="calibre10">
    M

Basically, I moved the P to the front.

That's fine, but it will eliminate the initial letter "treatment" via class="calibre10" and apply it to the whole paragraph instead.

What you should really do is replace it instead with:

#
  <p><span class="calibre10">
    M</span>

That is the desired effect
Every current paragraph starts with that treatment. Katdragon wants it gone


Normally, that type of treatment is used only at Chapter starts or possibly, scene breaks.
I made an assumption about the calibre10 that I should not have. (the problem with working with code fragments. No complete picture )
What size or face different from default?

IF you have

<div class="calibre10">
   M
 </div>

 <p>y jailers merely tightened their hold and frog-marched me when I wobbled. Suckers are very strong; they may not have noticed that they were now bearing nearly all my weight as my knees gave and my feet lost their purchase on the ragged ground.</p>

and you want to end with something like:

<div class="calibre10">
   <p>My jailers merely tightened their hold and frog-marched me when I wobbled. Suckers are very strong; they may not have noticed that they were now bearing nearly all my weight as my knees gave and my feet lost their purchase on the ragged ground.</p>
<div>

Your SEARCH string is:

<div class="calibre10">(\n\s*)([([\(\ÑñÓ/ÃÁÉÍÚáéíóúÜü¡!?¿*:«»"'-%…=–º©—“”#{(¼)\).,;a-zA-Z0-9\-_\s\c]*)(\n\s*)</div>(\n\s*)<p>([\(\ÑñÓ/ÃÁÉÍÚáéíóúÜü¡!?¿*:«»"'-%…=–º©—“”#{(¼)\).,;a-zA-Z0-9\-_\s\c\<\>\[\]\n]*)</p>

and replace string is: (you may copy the carriage returns inside SIGIL replace box)

<div class="calibre10">
   </p>\5</p>
<div>

You have plenty examples of RegEx and explanations about them in

Yes, if you wanted it GONE then just delete the class="calibre10" (as you've indicated below). But if you can get it to work PROPERLY, why not leave in that treatment...

That's right, just replace with <p> instead of <p class="calibre10">

Hey guys,
I tried searching for:

 <div class="calibre10">(\n\s*)([([\(\ÑñÓ/ÃÁÉÍÚáéíóúÜü¡!?¿*:«»"'-%…=–º©—“”#{(¼)\).,;a-zA-Z0-9\-_\s\c]*)(\n\s*)</div>(\n\s*)<p>([\(\ÑñÓ/ÃÁÉÍÚáéíóúÜü¡!?¿*:«»"'-%…=–º©—“”#{(¼)\).,;a-zA-Z0-9\-_\s\c\<\>\[\]\n]*)</p>

In the Sigil find/replace dialog box but it kept saying that it couldn't find the search term

edit: I am an idiot. Didn't make sure the regular expression box was ticked. Will try again tomorrow.

Hi everyone,
I tried the method in my previous post and whilst it got rid all of the line breaks the first letter of every paragraph has vanished.

Here is the code now:

 <div>
              <p class="calibre1"></p>

              <div class="calibre10">
                harlie is one of the big good guys in my universe. He gave me enough of a raise when I finished school (high school diploma by the skin of my teeth and the intercession of my subversive English teacher) and began working for him full time that I could afford my own place, and, even more important, he talked Mom into letting me have it.

                <div>
                  <p class="calibre1"></p>

                  <div class="calibre10">
                    ut getting up at four A.M. six days a week does put a cramp on your social life (although as Mom pointed out every time she was in a

etc...

Should I keep trying with this method or go through the other ones listed here?

If you lost the first letter then it is time to start fresh because whatever you did didn't work.

Okies, a friend of mine solved the problem for me.
I used e-texteditor and replaced

<div
     class="calibre10">\W+(.)\W+</div>\W+<p>

with

<p>$1

This -has- made the letter "I" (in a word) stick to the front of the paragraph e.g. "Iwent to the shops" but I can't think of a way to fix this other than by hand.

Edit: Fixed the above problem - I replaced <p>I with <p>I&nbsp; and then <p>I t with <p>It

Thanks so much for your help guys

I used installed unicode fonts on my PRS-505 by extra css

@font-face {font-family: "serif1";src:url(res:///opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0011m_.ttf)}
@font-face {font-family: "sans-serif1";src:url(res:///opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0003m_.ttf)}
body{font-family: serif1, serif}
p {font-family: serif1, serif}
h1 {font-family: sans-serif1, sans-serif}

but it don't work anymore for body text as in epub css there:

.calibre1 {
border-bottom: 0;
border-top: 0;
display: block;
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-top: 0;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-top: 0;
text-align: justify;
text-indent: 1.5em
}

any ideas?

Assuming tt0011m_.ttf and tt0003m_.ttf are the unicode fonts you want, does this work as your extra CSS?

@font-face {font-family: serif; src:url(res:///opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0011m_.ttf)}
@font-face {font-family: sans-serif; src:url(res:///opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0003m_.ttf)}
html {font-family: serif;}
h1 {font-family: sans-serif;}

[marliv]

yes, it work.

Thank you!

I have a book that I converted to epub format from which the book looks fine however anytime in the book there is "computer text" it runs off the page so that I can't read it on my iphone using ibook or stanza. I tried deleting literallayout but that just made all the computer text run together. Anyone know a fix for this? thanks.

I'm betting the code is in <pre> tags.

And if it IS surround by <pre> tags, then your best bet would be to edit the .html file(s) within the .epub (open the .epub up with a zip archiver and edit/extract the .html files) and do the following:

1) at the end of each line within the <pre> tags append a <br /> tag (or two <br /><br /> based on your preference for blank line separation), and

2) replace the surrounding <pre> ... </pre> tags with <p> ... </p> instead.

That should make sure the lines don't run into each other, but still allow each long line to wrap around so that you can see the ending...

BTW, in 2) above, you can play with indents using <p style="text-intent: 2em"> ... </p> or hanging indents using <p style="text-intent: -2em; margin-left: 2em"> ... </p>. Experimentation is your friend!
