conspicuous hyperlinks
When I open my Kindle Paperwhite User's Guide, I see conspicuous hyperlinks.
When I convert an HTML document to .mobi, the links appear rather subtle. I want conspicuous hyperlinks, like I see in my user guide. Can someone save me a lot of experimenting and clue me in as to the reason my hyperlinks look so subtle? ...is this is an issue with the mobi format? ...or do I need to apply a CSS style to make the links "pop"? ...or does my source need to be something other than HTML? ...or is it something else? Thanks in advance. |

Yes - you do it with CSS style for the "a" element. You need something like this:
Code:
a { text-decoration: none; } a:link { color: #265301; } a:visited { color: #437A16; } |

I appreciate that someone took time to respond, but the answer doesn't help. I think my question might have been unclear, so I've attached photos to show what I mean.
In the first photo, there's a closeup from the Kindle user guide as it appears on my Paperwhite. Note the clear, obvious underlines indicating a link. I *like* the underlines; I don't want to remove them. So when I tried the poster's styling for the anchor tag, I took out the first styling so I'd still get underlines. That leaves the color styling, which is not really the issue. But I used it anyway, and what I get can be seen in the 2nd photo. (I used the same words as in the first photo to get a side-by-side comparison.) Note that in my version, the underline is very thin and subtle. How can I get it to shout "this is a link" like I see in the user guide? |

Try something like:
Code:
a { text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px solid red; } Last edited by HarryT; 11-17-2017 at 04:01 AM. |

Why isn't there a book with all these brilliant tricks & tips?
I have bought several books about epub and formatting, but 95% of the time I end up searching here. |
