Sigil remove indent

[ebookscovers]

HI there I produced a ebook in quarkxpress, made changes in calibre and lastly sigil. I simply want remove a first line indent. see the following code:


NEED TO REMOVE INDENT ON THIS CODE before 'David awoke'

<img alt="chapt4rings" src="../Images/chapt4rings.png"/><br/></div>
<div id="box3_50810" class="para-normal-local2"><br/></div>
<div id="box3_50812" class="para-normal-local2"><span class="char-normal-local1">David awoke


THIS ONE IS FINE and has no indent at 'Well, you're'
(Only difference is 2nd line which i have already copy and pasted to above code replacing 2nd line.)
<img alt="chapt4rings" src="../Images/chapt4rings.png"/><br/></div>
<div id="box3_31013" class="para-normal-local2"><span class="char-normal-local1"><br class="calibre6"/></span></div>
<div id="box3_31014" class="para-normal-local1"><span class="char-normal-local1">“Well, you’re

Can’t seem to override this and take off indent. is there a simple solution as I may need to remove other indents on the book. There is no place where i can adjust code to indent=0 as such. Help. David

This is Sigil forum – your question is epub related.

Try this (change "2" to "1"):

<img alt="chapt4rings" src="../Images/chapt4rings.png"/><br/></div>
<div id="box3_50810" class="para-normal-local2"><br/></div>
<div id="box3_50812" class="para-normal-local1"><span class="char-normal-local1">David awoke

Thanks for that. I adjusted it in Sigil.

It would be ever so much easier if you used styles. My normal paragraph tag is <p> and follows this style:

p {
margin-top:0.0em;
margin-bottom:0.0em;
text-indent:1.5em;
text-align:justify;
}

I don't want an indent in the first paragraph of a chapter or major section of a chapter, so I use the paragraph tag <p class="first"> which not only eliminates the indent but adds a bit of space between the first line and whatever comes above it:

p.first {
margin-top:0.5em;
margin-bottom: 0.0em;
text-indent:0.0em;
text-align:justify;
}

You can copy or adapt my full style sheet from https://notjohnkdp.blogspot.com/2013...yle-sheet.html

Add it to Sigil's "Styles" folder with the name epub.css (or whatever you like that ends in css) and put a pointer to it in the header.
