Adding indents / removing line spacing for news
Hi,
I am new to calibre. I want my news articles that I downloaded through Calibre to be converted in such a manner that new paragraphs are indented and there is no line space between paragraphs. Under Preferences - Conversion, I checked 'remove spacing between paragraphs' but this doesn't seem to have an effect. Please advise, than, you. |

This did not fix the problem. Any other suggestions?
Thanks |

I don't know if you can effect what you want inside the recipe but you may want to try posting in the Custom Recipe thread.
Update: You might want to look into default extra css. Putting this in your extra css (under look and feel) might help with the indent / spacing. Code:
p {margin: 0; padding: 0; text-indent:1.1em;} div {margin: 0; padding: 0; text-indent:1.1em;} Last edited by DoctorOhh; 03-18-2010 at 05:40 PM. |

CSS override not working
I’m having the opposite problem; I’ve got some poetry where the lines are marked with style dd, and I need to remove the left margin to fit on the iPad in two-page mode. The following does override the font (necessary for some Old English characters) but not the indentation. (I got the idea from http://www.the-art-of-web.com/css/format-dl/, plus some old CSS (tweaked and reversed) I use with Safari to get real paragraphs in normal text.)
dd { font-family: "Times New Roman, Times"; text-indent: 0em ! important; margin: 0 ! important; padding: 0 0 0 0 ! important} |
