Kindle and 'em'

hkdorama · 07-24-2010, 10:00 AM

Does Kindle understand the 'em' units of measurement? Somehow or other I specified a "margin-bottom: 0.5em;" for a style but it looks like 1em on the Kindle 2. Even if I change 0.5em to 0.1em, it still looks like 1 em. If I set "margin-bottom: 0em;" then the margin-bottom disappears completely (which is normal).

The Kindle uses the Mobipocket format, and the Mobipocket format accepts only integer values for lengths, so it's either 0em or 1em (or else, you can use pt).
