--extra-css not working

[tage fredheim]

I have added a path to my extra.css:

"--extra-css=os.path.join(Xslt.xslt_dir, self.uid, 'extra.css')",

When I paste this css into the GUI the css has the intendent effect, but when adding it in the command line it has no effect.

I get some error indications in the Python log file:

Attached is the extra.css

[kovidgoyal]

As is noted in the documentation for the --extra-css option it has to either be actual CSS or the path to an extra css file. Not a python expression.

[tage fredheim]

I also extract the Language metadata from the epub-file to put it into the docx via a Python variable:

"--language="+language,

is that not allowed either?

[kovidgoyal]

No there are no python variables allowed. language metadata will be preserved from the input to the output automatically
