Small Question

Ephraim · 01-06-2011, 03:10 AM

In the book I'm making at the beginning of each chapter I add the chapter number,chapter title, and chapter image. Problem is that most pages show up in my eReader just fine. Everything fits just right......while a few go over into the next page because chapter title might be to long or image might be bigger. Is there an code that will always keep everything on one page in my eReader or is it a matter of just resizing fonts and images to fit in alotted space. I'd like to keep all my fonts for chapter titles and numbers the same size. I dont prefer to have some text smaller just cause its longer to have it fit. Any thing i can do? Thanks in advance.

You can wrap whatever you want to fit in a single page in a <div>, and assign "page-break-inside: avoid" to its CSS style. This only works if the content actually fits in a page, it will add a pagebreak before if necessary, but it won't alter font sizes, or spacing.

Sorry...Not too good at CSS yet. How do I go about doing this?

Add the red stuff:

span.sgc-5 {font-size: 27px; font-weight: normal}
div.nobreak {page-break-inside: avoid;}
</style>
</head>

<body class="calibre">

<div class="s">
<p class="calibre2"></p>

<h2 class="sgc-2 sigilNotInTOC"><span class="sgc-4"><br /></span></h2>

<h2 class="sgc-2 sigilNotInTOC"><span class="sgc-4">Chapter 1</span></h2>
</div>

<div class="s">

<h3 class="sgc-3 sigilNotInTOC"><span class="sgc-5"><img alt="" src="../Images/SS-18.JPG" /></span></h3>

But, if you are getting a pagebreak there, it's because it does not fit in a page, and there's not much to do.
