Sigil mobi (iPad): preventing group of headings+image from page-break

kfachuh · 11-20-2015, 01:00 PM

if I want to prevent a portion that should not be broken up from being broken between the pages - in a way that will work on iPad's kindle - what can I do?

It is like <h3> and <h4> lines one below

or image and the <h3> below it that should be always stuck together

And also, to prevent for example <h3> from starting at the bottom of the page
(It should always be above at least the beginning of the paragraph below it

And I don't want to start each of there quasi-sub-sub-chapters from new page (it will not prevent that and will cause more trouble actually)

Is there something simple for that?

This is not really a Sigil-related or Sigil-specific question. Moving to the ePub Format forum

Try: h1, h2 {page-break-after: avoid}

again - not all devices/apps are guaranteed to implement the standard completely.

That's why I asked if there's anything that will work everywhere (iPad specifically). And now I see all of these methods will be usually ignored by the kindle app itself.
But thanks, it helped me to know

There is no way to do this. You cannot guarantee font size and how it fits on screen. So if you make something that looks good at say the second font size, if I use the 5th font size, I could easily break what you've done.
