Epub unreadable - black page
Hello,
I have a problem with EPUB file converted from DOCX. The DOCX file is OK, when I make the EPUB I get it with a black page and black font. If I put the page in block, I can see the font but no help in trying to change the epub settings. If I put the page yellow, I still remain with black center. Does somebody have an idea ? It has the same appearance both on IPad 2 and when openig the epub in the Calibre. See the pix below : Appearance of the epub epub1.jpg The same page in block epub2.jpg The background and font settings of this file epub3.jpg I have tried to recreate the epub several times with several versions of Calibre but no change. The cause must probably be in the DOCX file as I don't have the same probelm with other files, only with 4 of the same origin. Thanks in advance for your help, JS |

I suspect the Body has the background set, which is why you see black after the paragraph ends.
Code:
background-color: black; /* or #000000 */ |

Sigil makes this easy. Or you could use Tweak(EPUB), explode and use a NOTEPAD type editor. /*background-color: black; */ will comment-out the stuff between in a stylesheet |

I have not tried this.
In Calibre, would placing background-color in convert books, look&feel, Filter Style Information, Other CSS properties work the same? The good thing is the original epub is preserved. |
