Question for those who edit .CSS files

That extra file in the "Miscellaneous" segment -- next to the OPF -- is what I was referring to. I've found that trying to deal with Apple's arrogance just in the OPF can have some unexpected results in tables.

This not at all about Calibre, either the reader or any other component. It's about Apple's refusal to work with existing standards (if you're old enough, you may remember the hard-formatting of 3.5" floppy disks that was incompatible with existing formatting standards and actually reduced capacity, and the less said about choosing the 6809 processor instead of the 6805...).

I was around in those good old days. Virtually every manufacturer had their own variant of formatting floppy disks and there were no standards as such. Sure, you could argue that for 3.5" floppy disks, IBM with their SD, DD and ED disks were somewhat of a standard. Though then I have to remember Microsoft's software distribution using DMF format to squeeze a bit more data on a 3.5" floppy disk, Amiga's format, one oddity that varied the rotational speed to allow squeezing more data on a disk (much like Apple's 400K/800K floppies) which was based on the Victor 9000 design though it didn't use the Victor's GCR encoding.
