Margins css changed in v1.27?

[VirgoGirl]

Hello!

I was editing some ebooks through Sigil that I first converted through Calibre, having to adjust some weird margins.

The margin css in the "stylesheet" css before conversion looks like this:

.calibre {
color: #000;
display: block;
font-size: 1em;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 5pt;
margin-right: 5pt;
margin-top: 0;
page-break-before: always;
text-align: justify
}

But after conversion it looks like this:

.calibre {
color: #000;
display: block;
font-size: 1em;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
text-align: justify;
margin: 0 5pt
}

I have NO idea how I read that conversion to edit it. Help?

Those are the same (results).
Margin is the short form:

Margin: (top right bottom left) values
Margin: ((both)Top and Bottom (both)Left and Right)

Thank you, very much appreciated!

You can change the behaviour in
Convert - Look&Feel - Expand CSS - for a single book conversion
Prefs - Common Options - Look&Feel - Expand CSS - for global conversion defaults.

With Expand CSS unchecked you get the shortened form (margin).
Whereas checked gives you the 4 explicit settings (margin-top, margin-left, etc)

Excellent! Thank you! It's easier - for me - to use the expanded form. Many many thanks for the help, I couldn't find the prefs setting previously!
