ebook-convert appending unruly style properties to custom CSS classes

[johnstephens]

Hi,

I ran into a possible bug in the command line ebook-convert utility. I wonder if there's a workaround, or anything I can do to bypass this issue.

The issue is that Calibre appears to be altering the font-size of blockquotes in certain documents. It appears to be adding CSS font-size properties to classes defined by the inline CSS, which overrides the intended font-size of blockquotes in the document.

The enclosed "Test.html" has identical CSS to "Test2.html", defined in the <style> element in the head of each document. "Test.epub", derived from "Test.html", displays the blockquotes correctly. But "Test2.epub", derived from "Test2.html", is displaying them much larger than intended.

I appended .txt to the HTML filenames, because the forum would not allow them to be uploaded otherwise. I also included the double-verbose output of the ebook-convert command.

Is there a flag I can add to the ebook-convert command to stop Calibre from altering the stylesheet? Please let me know if you have any advice or suggestions.

Thank you!

Thank you so much, Kovid! After reading up on that feature, I found the appropriate command line flag here:
