@GeoffR -
I only use kepub's so don't know what would happen with epub's. And because I don't want to "force" my reader to something, I don't use any of those "forcing" patches. as wrote above, I meant the "my 10/24 line spacing value" patches at the beginning of the libnickel.so. I will test it tomorrow with another kepub-book first and report here. (also will have a look then wich patches are enabled, but now i'm away from my pc) |

I tested the same book as epub and looked in some other kepub-books, everything works -as usual- very well with your patches. So thanks for your efforts and your patches. |

`Force user line spacing in KePubs (more forceful version)`
Quote:
This is a more forceful version of the `Force user line spacing in KePubs` patch that should work in more cases (but still not all cases), but it could also have more severe side effects than the original patch. I'll include this as an option in the future if anyone finds it useful. Spoiler:
As usual, for perfect results without any side effects you would need to edit the book instead. |

I'll test it over the week and report here if something unexpected happens. Thank you again GeoffR edit: When I try to edit the book with calibre, I have to look for a stylesheet file, right? |

I merge stylesheets when there is multiple. I see no need for that. It just makes things more difficult.

Personally, I agree there is little need in ebooks for multiple stylesheets but we have to remember than css stands for cascading style sheets. |

The only 100%-safe way I know to merge all stylesheets into one is to do a calibre conversion. I just wish publishers of fiction put as much thought into styling the main story sensibly as they do the front- & backmatter. |

I never merge multiple stylesheets. It's easier for me to clean up the few styles in 2-3 places than to deal with the fallout.
I do occasionally merge multiple styles for the same selector within a single stylesheet. |

I always merge stylesheets (no preach about the bad of my actions, waste of your time and mine), because I like cleaner structure, in the same way I order the stylesheet, remove non used styles, try to unify when I can, remove all in-line styling, change div to p... my way of working.

chapter name display
I read only kepubs, and usually choose the page number display by chapter, but recently I tried display by entire book. I missed the current chapter name, so redid the patches with
patch_name = `Always display chapter name on navigation menu` patch_enable = `yes` but it doesn't work (on my Aura One). I tried twice since I thought I might have made a mistake, but the result is the same: just the page number, on several books I tried. Did anybody have a similar problem? |
