How do you know if 17px or 16px is correct? That's part of the problem.

>Merging multiple CSS classes that are "the same" or "pretty close" to each other.
I'll be glad to see that, thanks! |

Merging classes that are the same is OK. Merging classes that are "pretty close" is not OK. Just because the classes seem pretty close, does not mean they should be merged. They could be different on purpose and you may not want them merged. So the pretty close feature needs to not be written.

After all, nothing is forcing you to use the pretty close feature if you don't want to. |

It's interesting reading these comments and wonder why it is even an issue? Don't you just replace all the garbage?
I get an ebook and the first thing I do is completely reformat it. Wipe the css and replace with my own, rename the html files, replace all the existing html tags and attributes to minimise the tags and match the new css code. Sometimes it is quite easy with some well placed Regex S&R, other books are a disaster and require a lot of work. When you get code that looks like that in the image, why would you keep it? (I had to stretch the window across my dual screens, hence the taskbar in the middle). What on earth is the point of that?? Last edited by Karellen; 07-29-2022 at 06:35 PM. Reason: Add image |

(the number of loops is the deepest nest, usually the last chapter. This mess seems to be done by Cocoa) Note: I hand adjust the class and ID values as they vary.Sigil type REGEX Code:

Must be a mindset thing, because I too basically don’t care about preserving what the original CSS was trying to do once I’m in there anyway. I’d be a lot more likely to fix the markup and then add my own minimal styling.

I do have some CSS I add to all eBooks and whatever I don't use will get deleted when I remove unused CSS after the eBook is fixed. I also remove unused CSS after deleted any of the HTML files I don't want. |

@theducks
Thanks for the regex. I had already removed the div's with a simpler regex, but I'll add yours to my toolbox. Great to see I'm not the only one @phillipgessert @JSWolf I find the opposite. It will take a lot longer trying to figure out all those bloody "calibre1", "calibre_1", Calibre2" etc etc. I've seen some books with 40+ calibre tags. (I still don't get it!!! I am sure the conversion process can be tweaked.) The books I read are fiction. There are no technical manuals that require lots of formatting. Fiction is quite easy. A heading, opening parargraph/scene break, then the body paragraphs. Occassionally some quotes, a footnote. Then front and back matter. |

I use Disp's Editing Toolbag editor plugin. I find it easier then the regex.
