Can't get calibre to *not* put space between paragraphs
I had set calibre to convert all books by removing space between paragraphs, indent of 0 and then adding a space between paragraphs. I like this format, but it can really screw stuff up sometimes, especially when the book signals soft chapter breaks with a double space. I have been trying to convert my library back to the way it originally was, with indents for new paragraphs, but every single time I convert it is doing what I talked about above. I simply can't figure it out. I uninstalled the software and reinstalled and am currently using the latest stable version. Is there any way around this?

Out of curiosity how do you expect the books to be formatted after conversion?

Calibre is not designed for tweaking or formatting documents. The remove spaces/add indent and the insert blank line options were giant swipes at common problems. If you use either of these it is all or nothing. I use both, but I also don't mind losing the soft chapter and scene breaks. You can always use Sigil to fine tune ePub book content, format and the css file. If you want to just adjust indents then tweaking the css file using epub-tweak and a editor like Notepad++ might work for you. Good Luck. |

You can also run the conversion with a directory in debug and look at each stage of the conversion to see what is happening. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 09-12-2010 at 01:52 AM. |
