That's a new one for me...I guess I haven't run into that before because I just style the <a> in the css. I definitely need to read up on cascade priorities.

Thanks fer the learn'n!

By precedence:
I declare a style to modify a tag
Then I include a tag that has a default/style that is counter to the outer tag.

Use the 'inspector' to see the 'calculated' results values.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FRIENDS!

That has sorted it out, and I am so relieved!

All very best

Try this in your CSS

a:link {
color:black;
}

a:visited {
color:black;
}

a:hover {
color:blue;
}

a:active {
color:black;
}

a {
text-decoration:none;
}

Should it? I'd say it's a bug if it does, or there is something else.

See the spec:

a { text-decoration: underline } -> specificity: 0,0,0,1
span.Hyperlinks { text-decoration: none } -> specificity: 0,0,1,1

so the second wins.

On an entirely different subject, I noticed you had the Sabon MT font in your CSS. If you are trying to embed this font you may have problems. It may not work, but if it does and this is for public distribution, you need to be aware this is a proprietary font from Monotype.

From what I can see on their website, to use it in this manner requires a contract with Monotype which I suspect will cost as much to use as you will make off the book.

My eyes glaze over when I read spec sheets like that .

I always thought inside-out (or last one changed) was the rule for precedence on nested tags. <A inside a <P does not lose its (default) properties just because the <P did.

I will deffer to your expertise on this. You are the CSS Guru as I do borrow heavily from your code snippets posted in various sections.

Thank you for pointing this out!
I will resolve this sharpish.

Hi all again
I have come across a further issue with this.
Although this fix works in ePub, when i convert to .mobi through the Amazon converter, the lines get put back in.

Does anyone know how i could remedy this?

Many thanks
Dan

This is not a Sigil Question.
Please open a new thread in the proper forum.
Sigil is about making EPUB2

Okay, will do. Thanks
