The code is not removed so it is in the packed data (I just checked). Does it work with mobigen?

Well, you know, anywhere . Hand-created versus tool-created doesn't really matter as long as they're standards-compliant enough to parse correctly. That said, whatever tool produced the OPF you attached required some new non-compliance-correction cases in my code . But hopefully the tools will improve with time.

This is tricky, so please follow: Little Stories for Little Children-use prc to imp.zip is a file that used your Mobipocket-specific .html/.opf and I changed to create a valid .imp with the above changes implemented. I also produced a new .prc from that revised/changed .htm for you to see if it looks acceptable (format-wise, not necessarily personal preference-wise. ) Little Stories for Little Children-use imp to prc.zip is a file that used my IMP-specific .html/.opf and I changed to create a valid .prc and closer to what you want. I also produced a new .imp from that revised/changed .htm for you to see how that now looks to me. I hope we are converging... Last edited by nrapallo; 01-06-2009 at 09:01 AM.

Interesting thread.
I only got interested in this a couple months back. I agree that working out a set of html that works for most formats is a good thing. I'd already switched to compliant tags for my ebooks, but now that I know page-break-after doesn't work for imp I'll change that, too. Last edited by Nate the great; 07-17-2009 at 04:03 PM. |

Ok, here's what I've learnt works better for .html that will be converted to multiple ebook formats (while writing GuteBook.pl):

I've also never seen the br tag do anything other than be a line break. Someone must have done something funky to get a space after that line. I think it's too much effort to combine the anchor tag with the page break. I place a separate page break immediately before the anchor, but I look at it as placing it at the end of the previous chapter/section/article. Other than that, I'm doing most of the rest already (I need to follow though on the p tag). |

If so, it puzzles me a bit because as far as I know the use of id rather than name is specific to XHTML 1.1, which in fact does not permit name. Again, so far as I know, the Mobipocket format was defined long before XHTML 1.1 was a twinkle in anybody's eye. What bothers me even more is that I have not caught up with XHTML 1.1 since none of the books I have mention it, nor how to make internal links without name. Can you point me to a book or source please where I can learn? Regards, Alex |

Please don't include "hard-wired" justification in Mobi books, except in cases where it's absolutely vital (eg you probably don't want poetry to be fully justified). Hard-wiring justification in Mobi prevents the user from being able to select left or full justification, which most implementations of the Mobi Reader permit.

.spaceabove { margin-top: 1.0em; } .spacebelow { margin-bottom: 1.0em; } both work well in a test HTML/CSS file converted to Mobipocket by Calibre. It's true that it margin-bottom is not recognised by Mobipocket Creator, and I have found other differences in tests of the same HTML/CSS rendered by Calibre or Mobipocket Creator - almost all in favour of Calibre. For what it is worth I whole heartedly support the idea of working towards getting standard HTML/CSS which will work in all formats, and hope that we can agree on and share a standard template.
