How To Move Text To The Right.

Gibbo · 04-22-2022, 11:56 AM

As you can see from the pic, the text isn't centred. How can I fix that using calibre's book edit feature?

Edit: Sorry, posted on the wrong thread, can moderators please move it to the editing thread.

the body text of the book was done as BLOCKQUOTES

, not the more traditional P or DIV

If you indeed, want blockquotes, then yo need to adjust the matching CSS entry
(calibre_15 ) to include text-align: center
Note: that many devices ignore some CSS styling in favor of allowing the device control

I just noticed:
The title of the thread says Move right
But the words say Centered
I gave instructions for the latter.

but upon consideration, do you really want to avoid 'ragged right' AKA Justified ?

Get rid of all the blockquotes and use one class for your paragraphs. Get rid of all the span classes. Most of them are not necessary. Your codes need to be cleaned up.

Use the following in the CSS file for the text you want to have aligned at the right:

text-align: right;
