Epub to Mobi7 conversion --- honoring CSS

[GrannyGrump]

@ Ducks & Wolfie --- I used to feel concerned because my stylesheet had 40 to 50 classes (working with images and tables). Then I examined a few commercial productions, and found one sheet with 1178 classes. Another with more than THREE THOUSAND. And not an illustration or table in sight, that was only for chapter heads and text.

I don't feel bad any more unless the final edited and culled version has more than 50.

Peace, all you people who use a max of five classes. I am awestruck and baffled at how you can do that! I just can't pare things down to that level, I keep wanting to tweak the font size in that blockquote, or make this chapter head in a fancy font, or something.

The reason I said what I did about multiple CSS is because it is harder if I want to tweak things if I want or need something changed. It's a lot easier to do this with one CSS.

I would refuse to feel bad about using whatever CSS you need, as long as you don't have multiple styles accomplishing the exact same thing, and you clean out the excess house styles using the ebook-edit/Sigil tool for that exact purpose.
