Parts of text existing, but not shown
Hi everybody,
I'm on Win 10, Eval. 18234. I converted a pdf using Calibre. In the editor it's looking like this: Why can't I see this stuff? The Calibre Viewer shows it like: The stylesheet looks like: .calibre { display: block; font-size: 1em; padding-left: 0; padding-right: 0; margin: 0 5pt } .calibre1 { display: block; margin: 1em 0 } Why is the viewer showing text on top of each other? Thanks everyone. Regards, Max |

If the code screen capture is full left margin
The HTML tags are severely mangled. Code:
<p class="indent">Below him, [edited] Code:
<p
class="indent"> Below him,

I think I found the reason
This line:
had multiple double blanks between each word. After I replaced these: it looked quite normal. Good to know. [Edit] Not only that, but I recognised that the Pdf-converter used (hex) "a0" istead of (hex) "20" for blanks. Thanks, Max Last edited by MaxM; 10-29-2018 at 02:02 PM. |

BTW e-books follow a subset of HTML, not the full thing Old adage: "If it hurts when you do this... Stop doing that!" There is "the spec", and then there is reality. My K4 refuses to show some books as they appear in: K4PC, The Kindle Previewer and Calibre's book viewer. (and the code does not trip warnings) |

It's the adjacent non-breaking spaces which cause this problem of some text being invisible in the Editor - usually around the line wrap area. I see it quite often.
I have a vague memory, from a while ago, that it's a known problem with the underlying Qt library, i.e. not fixable by calibre alone. |

↑ ↑ ↑ - likewise.
It's one of the reasons why I use Sigil for editing the code. BR |
