Is there way to list undefined classes?

[phossler]

In the HTML I have something like

<p class="nosuchclass"> text …. text<p>

where nosuchclass in not in any style sheet or otherwise defined

[Reports, Style Classes] will list it, and [Tools, Remove Unused CSS Rules] will delete it from the HTML ('See What Changed' shows it), BUT is there any way to just show or mark a class in the HTML that is not defined in a CSS or {Style}?

I often clean up (at least that's what I call it) an epub to simplify overly defined classes that are 99% identical and make no difference on my reader.

Not sure what you mean by "show or mark". Take hte list from the reports tool and search for them, then you can go to them one by one.

Maybe I'm not understanding the way to read the report?

If the count = [0], does that mean it's not explicitly defined?

I always took the [count] to be the number of places it was used in the epub so if I did have a count of [0], I thought I had defined a class in a style sheet but did not use the class

Since 'nosuchclass' was actually used one place in the book, I'd have expected [1] and not [0].

I was looking to find somewhere that 'nosuchclass' was used (one time) but not defined.

[Tools, Remove Unused] will delete it, but I wanted to at least look first

I would say it indicates: 'not defined'

There are 2 CSS 'views' (the left pane) on classes
The one you are looking at is the callout FOR a class
CSS rules, is the USAGE of that rule (class)

Since I don't (deliberately) use

 [style] ...  [/style]

, I can't say what your current display would say if they were defined up in the [head] of the document

That's an odd report, can you attach the file in which it occurs?

Possibly, but to me it seems usage is inconsistent with the rest of the report:

[5] means the class "center" was used 5 times, but [0] means "Used, but Not Defined"??

I would expect that for the sample file it would be [1] since the class "nosuchclass" was actually used one time

Uh! That is a SIGIL report, I think the Phos only uses Calibre.

(I use both editors, so I try and remember which forum I am answering with instructions (I won't tell you how many replies I have binned, after discovering I an using the wrong program for the example ).

An 'undefined' rule just defaults the tags (inherited) 'default' for the viewer

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've sort of 'standardized' on Calibre


There are the 2 Calibre reports that are similar to Sigil's

I use Sigll, primarily because of familiarity, and more recently because of its plugins. I use calibre editor when I need multilingual spell-checking.

But I regularly use Reports from both, e.g. calibre editor's Words and Sigil's Links, and I just as regularly wish both editors had the same Reports as the other one

I knew that, that's why I wrote: "try Sigil->Tools->Re..."

The Sigil report will give the OP what he wants, he can save it to a CSV and action it in calibre-editor if he's concerned about editing the book in Sigil.

BR I use Sigil and Calibre almost exactly for the same reasons you give. Familiarity
