Is there a way to strip drop caps?
I have some books which have drop caps at the start of the chapter, and I can't get them to display properly on my Kobo. I have tried reconverting them to epub and it helped a little (they no longer are giant-sized) but they still are messing up the books. Is there a way to easily fix this?

then find the basic paragraph style and add the old class name .normal, .old_class {... That leaves a hint of the hack and easily reversed as the coding is still in place, just not acted upon differently |

if you don't plan to ever reverse the code do as I do. look in stylesheet.css file for something like this
.dropcap { blah blah blah } & delete everything between the curly brackets... in most cases the annoying style is helpfully called dropcap or dropcaps, but if not you just have to work a little harder to find & tweak it. |
