Squashing right-justification in ebook-viewer.exe
Hi, everybody.

My user stylesheet for calibre's ebook-viewer.exe is:

Code:
body {
  widows: 0;
  orphans: 0;
  text-align: left !important;
}
p {text-align: left}
and yet in a number of ebooks (not all) I'm still getting full justification, instead of left alignment. Any suggestions?

Many thanks!

Rob

My first step would be to check the structure of the book. In many cases of weird formatting, it turns out that paragraphs are using div tags, or the whole chapter is one container broken by br tags, or some other insanity. You only selected for body and p; maybe adding a body * { text-align: left} would help, although juuuust a little overkill.

Also, its likely that inline styling will override the viewer's stylesheet as it always overrides internal CSS stylesheets and the <style> sections in the HTML file's <head> section.

I've seen ebooks where every paragraph tag is styled. Such books probably can't be "fixed" without editing an ePub or AZW3 version and bulk replacing all of the <p andWhateverStyle> tags with simple unstyled <p> tags.

You could use the eBook editor to replace all text-align: justify with text-align: left. However, it looks better using full justification since hyphenation is supported.

Add "!important" to the "p" rule. "!important" only affects the order in which rules are selected from various stylesheets after specificity is checked. Any rule in the eBook that formats a "p" element as fully justified would be used, because your "p" rule is sooner in the cascade order, and your "body" rule has less specificity.

Basically, your "body" rule is only being applied to text that is inside a "body" element but not inside of any other element with styling, which is pretty unlikely.

Full justify is NOT right justify. So this thread is off-topic.

No disrespect to Mr Sawyer, but nor does anyone else.

Yes I know. In fact, I have Quantum Night ready to be sent to my H2O next time I plug the H2O into the laptop.
