I've just run the latest version of Modify ePub and I do like the unpretty part. Saves me from having to load into Sigil to fix some not so good formatting of the XML.

I have a request. Would it be possible for the unpretty (de-indent) routine to not double space?

It's possible, but I'm not going to do it. One of the benefits of double-spacing is that it makes "unwrapping" paragraphs much easier in some editors...which I find to be a useful feature.

If you don't like the double-spacing, just open the book in Calibre's editor and replace \n+ with \n in All text files, using Regex mode. Done.

I hesitate to ask for this (it may be my OCD showing), but would it be possible for Modify ePub to have an option to clean up the CSS file (put classes in alphabetical order, make the formatting/indenting/spacing consistent)? Some stylesheets are such a mess that I can't scan them easily. Sometimes I miss classes with identical names--some are duplicates but some are not, and if they were in alphabetical order, at least I could view them together and consolidate or remove duplicates. Sometimes individual properties are all on a single line, sometimes they are on separate lines, sometimes a property has a colon plus a space after the property name, sometimes it has a colon with no space... These things turn a simple search into a regex adventure, which is a pain. Calibre's conversion process handles most of these, but I'd rather not deal with the side effects of conversion. Anyway, just a suggestion, and thank you for the work already done in this essential plugin.

You can 'beautify' just the CSS with ebook-edit ( if you are looking at the CSS, you are probably editing something. 1 click and it is pretty-er).
Sigil has the reformat CSS right-click option. Both make the CSS have a standard layout (colon space), but a \s* between the colon and the argument will take care of the REGEX search problem


Neither sorts. Both have clean unused styles.

Aha, I didn't know that. Thanks. All I need now is to alphabetize the classes.

Not really my call. At present, I'm trying to nail down these three new routines, none of which deal with this, before handing the development reins back over to kiwidude.

That said, there are several ways to clean up CSS files, some of which have already been mentioned. One of my favorite methods is to open the book with Calibre's editor, add a new (and thus unused) class to the CSS sheet in question, and then use the Tools > Remove unused CSS rules option. (Name is from memory; I'm on my iPad right now.) Not only will that tool remove the unused classes, but it will also reformat the affected sheets to a readable standard. It doesn't do any reordering, though, as sometimes the sequence of rules within a stylesheet matters. Specifically, later rules override earlier rules. (Real example: One sheet defined * { margin: 0; } and then blockquote { margin: 1em 1.5em; } - if you reverse that sequence, blockquote loses its margins.)

Yes, if the styles are all independent, the order doesn't matter. However, in my experience, the big long sheets that are hard to wade through are most commonly template-related sheets that contain a lot of unused rules. Clear those out, and things look a lot better really fast.

Understood about rule sequence. It's just that I've had a few stylesheets lately that either duplicate entire classes verbatim or override many/most of the properties in those classes. If classes with the same names could be grouped together, I could see what is happening a whole lot easier. Calibre's conversion process does this, and so far it hasn't created any problems in that respect, but it also consolidates classes, which I don't want. But knowing how to reformat the stylesheet helps a lot, so I am reasonably satisfied for the moment. Thanks.

For something like that, you may want to check out http://cleancss.com/ - copy the sheet's CSS into the box, set your selections as you wish, and let 'er rip. Quick, good, and pretty painless (aside from being an online tool rather than an integrated one).

I used CleanCSS on one book that had apparently been written with one sheet/chapter, then all the classes got mass-renamed so all the sheets could be crammed into one document. You'd end up with, for instance, .center, .center1, .center2, and so on through about .center29 - and they're all identical. CleanCSS combines those together, and then you can use Calibre's search/replace feature to reduce the references to all those different classes if you want. That part can be tedious, but at least it's possible once everything's been combined.

Sorting the stylesheet sounds like an something the editor should do. And as Kovid has announced support for editor plugins in the next release, that would be a good way to add the function.

I'll take a look at it. Sounds like it might get me halfway there. Thanks. (But I'd still like to see a plugin with the ability to sort stylesheet classes )

Personally, I would not mind if Modify ePub cleaned up the stylesheet. But reordering it, nope, things could break.

I'd like to reorder it to check dups, but not necessarily save the reordered version. Finding duplicate classes is so tedious that DavidFor's new plugin will make this way easier. Thanks, DavidFor.

Why not then ask for a duplicate class checker instead of reordering?
