line height

Rellwood · 04-05-2018, 03:55 PM

I want to add a rule in common choices to have the book line height be 125% but am not sure how to convert the "pt" in the option to whatever the % or em would be.

Also would it be easier to just have it in the rules in transforming styles or should it just be in the fonts family?

Most of my converted books have been changed to 120% or 120 or 1.2 so it wouldn't be difficult to locate it in the style files, but I just don't know how best to approach it.

Are you reading these eBooks on your Kobo Aura HD? If so, set Calibre to remove any line height since the Kobo allows you to set the line height via the Aa menu and the line height slider.

Am using it for the PaperWhite 3's

Kobo has it's own Calibre on another user account and I basically leave the line-height alone.

Add more than one rule in Transform for line-height. You don't need pt or % or em after 1.25.

Examples:

If line-height is more than .01, then change it to 1.25.
If line-height is more than .01pt, then change it to 1.25.
If line-height is more than .01em, then change it to 1.25.
If line-height is more than .01%, then change it to 1.25.
