Nope. It even works with ADE 1.7.

It does not work with ADE 2.0.1 or ADE 3.x.. I just added font-weight: 500 to p in the CSS and the font is displayed as normal. It has no more weight than if the font-weight wasn't there.

So don't use numbers with font-weight. They don't work.

They are working. They are working on my Sony PRS 650, they are working with Mantano, they are working with ADE2, ith RMSDK, with Sigil preview and and and. If they are not working on your devices, your device doesnt supprt this or you made another error. and font-weight bold isnt equivalewnt to 500. bold is 700.

Again, you are wrong. You are wrong saying that empty spans are autmatically useless and dont do anything in the styling, and you are wrong that numerical font weights do not works with ADE or ADE based devices.

Had you actually read the specs that I've linked to you'd found out that the numerical equivalent of "bold" is 700. I.e., any value between 400 and 600 is interpreted as "normal." (rubeus has never claimed that 500 is equivalent to "bold.")

If you still don't believe me try the following code:

Spoiler:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
  <title></title>
  <style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/
  span {font-weight: 700; }
  /*]]>*/
  </style>
</head>

<body>
  <h3>font-weight test</h3>

  <p>This is <span>bold text</span>.</p>
</body>
</html>

I've attached a new version (0.3), that should use prettyprint_xhtml() where available. (To be on the safe side, I've also removed the regular BS4 prettyprint() function.)

@sbin: Please download and test the updated version. It shouldn't insert unwanted spaces.
Downloaded and tested, it works perfectly!
Thank you, you saved me a lot of work

In RMDSK (ADE), empty spans don't do anything. They just bloat the code. You can take them out and the ePub will still display exactly the same.

The way font-weight works with numbers is to be able to change the weight not just normal and bold. So no, it doesn't actually work as intended. 500 should have more weight than 400 (normal) and 600 should have more weight than 500, but less than 500. 900 should have more weight than bold. So if these things do not happen, then it does not work and it doesn't happen so it does not work.

Again you are wrong. Check doirsu code example before giving any fault statements here. Or use one of my examples. Empty spans do have an effect if sthere are css rules matching it. thats a fact, thats in the specs, that can be proven, it works in epubs, it works in ADE and RMSDK. Sorry to say that, but you dont have a glue about that.

I know how spans work in ADE. Have they been defined in CSS? If not, then they are empty spans that have no use in ADE. I've also seen many eBooks made with empty divs as well and the divs have no use just like the spans.

Each and every word you're posting shows that you dont know how it works, Doitsu and me have presented working examples. You didnt try them out. But, if it makes you happy, just believe in that. I'm outta here now of this nonsense.

Not to be a spoilsport, Jon, BUT: that only works (bold, bolder, or 500, 700, etc.) if the font supports it. Many, many fonts have a single bold typeface. If you have one bold typeface, you can type bold and bolder from now until hell freezes over, and naught will happen. If you have a real family font--so that you have several levels of bold, sure, that works.
