I've generally had a great experience using KoboTouchExtended, thank you so much to the developer!
One thing I noticed recently is that it's adding spaces around em dashes during auto-conversion when sending ePUBs (auto-converting to KEPUB) to my Kobo. Is there a way to stop this from happening? In the version history, bug 1246505 mentioned that this was fixed, but obviously it's still happening for me... Thanks in advance for any insight. Last edited by nikosan; 12-08-2024 at 07:16 PM. |

Can you use the Scramble ePub plugin to upload a book to demonstrate the problem? Either an ePub I can convert or a KePub already converted should be fine.

Sure thing. I scrambled it, then sent to my Kobo, then grabbed the KEPUB from there. Both files are attached.

For what it may be worth, kepubify does not add spaces around em dashes.

Can someone please fix the bug of adding spaced around an em dash when the ePub gets converted to KePub? Thanks.

Since you asked, maybe!
Version 3.7.2 is posted and should be offered by calibre within the next hour. This version attempts to fix highlighting with the new Kobo span generator, and should no longer add spaces around em-dashes during conversion. |

Thank you for this. I assume this will solve the problem with the right/full justification being a little off when em dash is in the line?

I'm not sure. I've somehow never gotten a book with an em-dash, and I always read with left justification. Re-convert a book you've noticed a problem with and let me know how it goes?

Unfortunately, it seems to remove the spaces preceding <em> tags. This is an easier fix (edit the original to use <i> instead), just thought I'd mention. I do see what OP was talking about when I justify my newly-converted KePUBs. The right edges of lines with em-dashes are just the slightest bit too short. Last edited by nikosan; Today at 12:06 AM. |
