Calibre Blank Pages Issue

EwaP · 05-18-2019, 08:01 AM

Hi everyone. I'm having blank page issues with one of my ebooks that I'm creating in Calibre. Essentially there is a blank page between almost all my pages. Majority of the pages that I have are picture files. I have checked to ensure the pictures were small enough, not to overflow onto the next page.

Is there a code I can add to tell the file to end the page or something else I can try?

I'm pretty new to this so it's been a struggle for sure. Below is the coding i'm using on majority of the pages. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8"/>
<meta name="Generator" content="Atlantis Word Processor 3.2.13.3"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../Styles/style.css"/>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<p class="p2"><span class="t26"> </span></p>
<h1 class="h10"><a id="ncx232"></a><a id="a83"></a>Maple Cream Cheese Toast</h1>
<p class="p0"><span class="t23"><img src="../Images/img19.jpg" width="528" height="335" alt="img19.jpg"/></span></p>
</body>
</html>

Blank pages can also be created because what is called to be there won't fit.
It might be invisible.
Top and bottom margins and/or padding that are part of pictures or text.
I avoid bottom margins on text blocks, just because of this. You see the text right where you want it (it is right at the bottom of the screen), but you get a blank page because there was no room for the Bottom Margin. So, I just use the TOP margin to space the next P (any block item) down.

If this is the case, Using the Text size SMALLER on the reading device, may make the blank go away because the screen full, now fits

a CSS page_break_before(after): always assigned to the Starting (first) blocks class ("p2" OR "t26" in your case)
You need to add up the vertical margins and padding for the entire body in this case (single page).
Lucky for you, the calibre Editor includes the "Inspector" tool that can displa the current metrics for the selected block. (choose each nested block, and see whats going on an in the right pane). Remember the first C in CSS is Cascade. Your margin numbers may be accumulating.

<p class="p2"><span class="t26"> </span></p>
Get rid of the above line. You don't need it.

<h1 class="h10"><a id="ncx232"></a><a id="a83"></a>Maple Cream Cheese Toast</h1>
Setup the margins in your "h10" class in the CSS file. Why do you need two different "IDs"?

<p class="p0"><span class="t23"><img src="../Images/img19.jpg" width="528" height="335" alt="img19.jpg"/></span></p>
You probably don't need the <span class="t23"> in the above line. Configure whatever settings you want and need in the "p0" class in the CSS file and use <span>s only when they are necessary.)
