Saving edits in calibre
I'm trying to put a border around an image on a page. I open the book in calibre, go to the page, highlight the image, right-click and go to inspect. In the inspection screen, I go to the css in the right column and enter margin: 10px.
I exit from the inspection area and look at the calibre reader page and the image is bordered exactly as I want. I close the reader. I reopen the reader and all the changes are gone - the image again has no border and in the inspection area, the added css is gone. I hope this isn't the stupidist question in the history of the forum, but how do I save the changes in css that I make in calibre? Thanks in advance, John |

The calibre viewer is not meant for editing. You cannot make changes to ebook files with it. If you want to edit, use a program like Sigil.

Thanks,
I make the changes in Sigil, it looks perfect, reload into Calibre and Calibre removes the margin. Why? Thanks in advance. john |

When you run a convert in calibre, margins are set by calibre. To control the value of those margins, use the conversion options.
If you don ont run a convert, margins are not affected. |
