I can reproduct this in my two archlinux machine.

After some debuging, I found that ZipFile::__del__ is not called, so ZipFile::close is not called two. But I can't tell why ZipFile::__del__ has not been called with override-css options.

Maybe a explicit del will solve this problem?

I've added an explicit call to close. Hopefully that will fix it for you.

Can you ignore some css styles, just like font-family? So it will not override the font set by '--override-css' ?

thawk · 11-10-2008, 02:39 AM

html2epub will delete < and the trailing characters in the line.

testcase:

Code:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p> A line with lt : &lt; something </p>
<p> A line with gt : &gt; something </p>
</body>
</html>

the < and the following characters will be deleted in the output.

Not sure what you mean?

I'm pretty sure this is about the fact that some of the calibre-generated CSS gets added after the CSS specified by --override-css, which means that it isn't possible to alter all style behavior in your branch with just --override-css.

Well I've fixed that --override-css now has second highest priority behind <style title="override_css"> elements in the html file

A more specific style may has higher priority than the style specified in --override-css. For example, ".myfont {font-family:...}" has higher priority than a --override-css "body {font-family:...}". I can't alter the font-family unless I know there's a .myfont class, and override the style for myfont class.

If html2epub can filter out the font-family property, the font-family specified in --override-css will always be used without exception.

Kovid, I have a bunch of converted epubs that --override-css and --remove-paragraph-spacing refuse to remove paragraph spacing from. Do you want a ticket with a sample book?

Is my problem addressed in the next release?

html2epub doesn't filter CSS rules. However, it will eventually support embedded fonts, which should do what you need.

No, your problem is caused by not having any <p> tags in the HTML. Instead it uses <br><br>, so the css wont have any effect on that

OK.
Embedded fonts is not so useful for CJK, because CJK font set is too large.
Anyway, thanks.

To JeffElkins:
You can try substituting <br> to <p> before using html2epub. I may helps.
