Aldiko Ignoring Most of The CSS

Nabodita · 08-16-2013, 04:52 AM

Hi

I'm trying to create an ebook of a poem. To be true to the original, I need to format the paragraphs in a certain way. Now I know I've got the CSS right because when I tested it in IE, it displayed fine. (Well, more or less... just need to tweak the margin/padding values a bit)

Unfortunately, Aldiko seems to be interpreting the css very differently; I'm guessing its ignoring the margin/padding settings completely.

Firstly, I've attached a screenshot of what the poem should look like as displayed in IE. BTW, the poem is in Bengali and the embedded font and font-family declaration is working fine.

Here is an extract of the text.html file:

Some textSome more text on the same line but with a little space from the text before it

Some text on the next line which will be indented

Repeat the above two lines, then to insert a blank line:

 

Here is an extract of the CSS: (I've omitted the font information since that's working fine)

.Class1
{padding: 0 0 12px 0;
text-indent:0;
text-align:left;}

.Class2
{padding:0 0 12px 30px;}

.Class3
{padding: 0 0 12px 0;
text-indent:48px;
text-align:left;}

That's it. But this portion of the CSS is being ignored, or so it seems to me. I do have publisher formatting enabled. There's a screenshot attached of how its looking in Aldiko.

I've tried googling this but to no avail. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? I would really appreciate it if someone could suggest a workaround. Aldiko version is 2.2.3

Thanks

I've never used this reader but a quick Google search indicates a probable solution in the settings of the program.

Good Luck.

I've already changed the settings to over-ride the Aldiko defaults; that's why the Bengali font is displaying at all.

Unfortunately, the program is still ignoring the paragraph formatting for the most part.

Can someone spot something wrong with my code? I tested the file on IE... should I try another browser?
