Converting HTML to EPUB - <pre> and <code> issues

csokol · 10-26-2012, 01:26 PM

Hello,

I'm trying to convert html to epub using ebook-convert.

I'm having some problems with <code> tags inside <pre> tags, only when using moon reader with epubs converted with calibre. With aldiko and iBooks readers it's working fine.

Here is a excerpt of the html to be converted (it's a very confuse html because it's generated automatically by the syntax highlighter pygments):

Here is a print screen of what moon reader shows to me when I convert that excerpt:

But what I expected was something at least looking like this:

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Can you attach an html version of this excerpt, (changing extension to .txt to upload to MR), which shows the problem? What does the converted ePub look like in calibre's reader?
