unnecessary/unwanted page breaks

bgoldnyxnet · 02-05-2014, 02:02 AM

Please see http://conchord.org/xeno/wbtest.htm

When I convert this to EPUB format, a page break gets inserted after the subtitle "#2 in the Bloodslut Series" even though I haven't requested one.

Does anybody have an idea how to prevent this from happening?

I am using Calibre to convert from HTML to EPUB.

Do not use <h2> and <h3> for visual styling. Those are sectioning elements, they are supposed to be used for titles of some kind of "section". If you want something centered, in bold and larger font, just say so with CSS:

Code:

<div class="centered_bold_and_larger">whatever</div>

div.centered_bold_and_larger {
  text-align: center;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 120%;
}

You also might want to check in the calibre forum. There's a ton of calibre conversion options that can affect where page-breaks are detected/inserted.

Use Sigil instead of Calibre; I attach an ePub made with Sigil with your html file. I also corrected some text that was supposed to be centered and it was not, because the "classes" who had formated the text, didn't have in count the "text-indent" property of the selector "<p>" (in classes "sttl", "stars" and "titlepagetext" I added the property "text-indent: 0;"; I also cleared the property "width" in the "body" selector.)

Thanks. Looks like Sigil also picked up the Author's name from the <h2>, which Calibre failed to do.

Maybe I can embed information about the cover and ISBN so I don't have to input those every time I bring in a new version?

Read the online Sigil Tutorial to learn about how to use the program:

Sigil Tutorial

Add a Cover Image

Add the Author and Title

Add others metadata (ie. ISBN)
