Links color
Converting other formats to epub or mobi, Calibre changes color of links to blue,no matter what the color of links was in the original file.
Would it be possible to have an option of keeping the original color? As it is now I am forced to use Sigil to fix the colors after the conversion to epub & convert to mobi with Kindlegen instead of Calibre. It would be much more convenient to do everything in Calibre.

add this code to the Extra CSS (preferences--common options--look&feel)
Code:
a:link {color: whatever color you want}
links can be displayed in different ways Code:
a:visited {color:#00FF00;} /* visited link */
a:hover {color:#FF00FF;} /* mouse over link */
a:active {color:#0000FF;} /* selected link */

Something very funny is happening with Calibre: I've put both (a & a:link) codes into the CSS field & trhe first book came out with the color I wanted.
Then I tried a second book with the same (copy & paste) code & it reverted to blue. I then tried the first book again & it also came out blue. So far i've tried a few additional books but  no repeat performance from Calibre - TOC remains blue.A mystery! Last edited by kamanza; 08-20-2012 at 01:26 PM. |

 You probably have (more) code somewhere (could be the CSS or the document itself) that sets it to Blue |

To check that I exploded a book pre-Calibre conversion (epub to epub) & post-conversion & compared the 2. Calibre introduces a few CSS attributes & <span>'s with "blue" in them, which were not there originally. So, even if a book gets correct colors being converted once, it reverts to blue on any further conversion. I would consider this a BUG. In any case, I go back to tweaking epub in Sigil & converting to mobi in Kidlegen or Mobipocket—it is much easier. Last edited by kamanza; 08-21-2012 at 05:28 AM. |

Can't do that: copyright. But i'll try to demonstrate this on some short un-copyrighted text
when i have time. Last edited by kamanza; 08-21-2012 at 01:00 PM. |
