CSS conversion from a plugin

jgoguen · 02-12-2013, 09:16 PM

I'm trying to figure out how I can set a CSS rule (specifically, margin:0px) while my plugin is processing books, but I'm not sure how to do it. Some files reference a single CSS file, some reference multiple CSS files, some have one or more CSS files and their own style tag...

Is there a (relatively) easy way through calibre to find any margin declarations and change them to 0, or set margin:0px if there is no margin rules?

No, there isn't. You have to parse all the css files, all the html files, connect all style rules to their elements, go through all style tags and style attributes, update style rules as per css precedence and then finally change things. Why do you think the calibre conversion process is so involved.
