no line breaks in code view

just_jeepin · 01-29-2014, 03:06 PM

When I edit in Calibre there are no line breaks after the . But if I open the file up in Sigil it shows the line breaks. Is there a way to make Calibre view code the way Sigil does? It's much easier to find things in the code.

Attached are two screenshots showing what I mean.

calibre only does beautify html when you ask it to: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/edit...utifying-files

Sigil by default does it automatically on File Open.

Ah, thanks... problem solved!

could beautify all files please be made a user-preference, so that ,via preferences, it applies whenever a book is opened ?

I don't see how anyone could edit code without applying that first, as without it its almost impossible to see where tags begin & end!

it's not an issue if a book as been previously opened & saved in sigil & then already beautified, but if edit book is to replace sigil....

The photo was an example of the worst case (I have ever seen). It is still valid code when done that way.
There are many good reasons to NOT auto pretty. Getting a chance to repair Corruption being one.

How lazy can you get: it is 1.5 clicks

user-preference. why do the same key strokes 1000 times if you can have them automated..

anyway the book that triggered the request was a kindle best seller azw3 conversion.

maybe all azw3 conversions look like s**t when converted & not prettified, or maybe it was just this one.

or maybe you can read this as-is?

@cybmole - meanwhile, you could add a keyboard shortcut for Beautify (eg ctrl/alt/b)

If you happen to have a mouse with a extra buttons you could program one of them to send the ctrl/alt/b when pressed in a calibre ebook-editor window.

It does this by prettifying by adding invisible characters such as the paragraph separator.

If you are working from a bad source, you may want to extract all the paragraph spacers, which will get rid of them in places you will likely not want them. It will also unprettify the text, which you can beautify again, by putting these markers where they make sense.
