EPUB to KEPUB line spacing

Buhaj47 · 12-07-2015, 03:38 PM

Long time, no... write (?). Anyway, I have this way of converting EPUB to KEPUB files where a publisher font, margin, etc. are removed.

My only issue is that whenever I am doing that, I need to tick 'remove spacing between paragraphs', otherwise there is a space between EACH paragraph although it is not in the original.

When I do that though, line spacing is also removed between text and pictures, which I do not want. How to turn off line spacing except for text-picture sections?

The current settings are in this picture.

You need to untick the margins box in the Filter style information tab. (Edit: As well as unticking the Remove space between paragraphs box)

The default paragraph margin (for ePub and KePub) is 1em. Most publishers set the paragraph margin-top and margin-bottom to zero. Your current settings are removing that zero margin, which results in the default 1em margin taking effect.

Edit: The remove space between paragraphs then removes that space again, but it is also removing space that shouldn't be removed.
