Controlling justification in ePubs

JohnnyNonsense · 10-31-2011, 12:49 AM

Many ePub readers do not have a way to override the line justification style set by the publisher (iBooks allows it, Nook does not). Most people prefer to have it be always full, or always ragged-right. If an ePub has DRM, then I guess I cannot go in and edit their stylesheet to my liking. Is it possible to create an ePub that references an external stylesheet, or specify that the internal stylesheets not be protected by DRM? If so, then it should be possible to create a utility that will allow someone to modify or override their ePub's stylesheets.

Or, you just remove DRM and change it if you want.

I believe it's possible to leave the stylesheets unencrypted by DRM, but that's up to the publisher.
