You can set indent as the default, but make an exception when <p> is preceded by <h3>. Or you can default to no indent, but make an exception when <p> is preceded by another <p> (i.e. for all paragraphs except the first).

n.b.: this does NOT WORK in all e-readers. Many--or at least, enough to pay attention to--require specific code, not adjacent selectors. Just as a heads' up, depending upon what actual device(s) you intend to test upon.

Wait, are you saying that things like 'h2 + p' for example does not work on some/a lot of readers?

I have had them be fussy with MRSDK on my Astak PP

<h2 class="foo1">Chapter</h2>
<p class="foo2">First Words</p>



h2 + p {text-indent:2em;} <<<does not work

h2 + p.foo2 {text-indent:2em;} <<<works

AFAIK, indent doesn't exist, it should read text-indent.

With text-indent both h3 + p and p + p works with all ADE desktop versions released so far, starting with ADE 1.7.2. (It also works with AZW3, but not Mobi7.)

What RMSDK version does the Astak PP come with?

Toxaris:

Yes. ;-) Would that it did, but it doesn't. And I know you're going to ask me for a list of those that don't, and I shan't be able to remember, but I do know that adjacent selectors and/or child selectors aren't supported in all ePUB devices. Anyone else remember which?

Don't worry, I won't ask ;-) I was just amazed by it.

Indeedy, me too. I'm always amazed (or perhaps I mean dazed) by these types of things. They're so rampant!

We could take the position that owners of these devices will be so used to experiencing limited formatting that there's no point in accommodating them.

Shame on you, Exalted Rodent! ;-)

No, no, we should take the position that we ought bring them into the light of wondrous formatting.
