DOCX->EPUB Header / <p class=" ">

ElPeregrino · 09-04-2018, 10:32 AM

Hello.

I have made a few thousand eBooks using Word and the DOXC-Format to calibres EPUB.

Now somebody claims the EPUBS have wrong headers and 100 or more <p class="somfink"> </p> which users have to remove/fix in Sigil.

As I only work in Word and then convert in calibre I don't exactly get the problem - my books look fine in my kindle as I perfected my method over the past few years.

Could this be a bug in calibre or a setting I overlooked? Has anyone an idea how to really make "clean" or "perfect" ebooks?

Thanks!

I thought all the classes in Calibre converted books were of the form ‘calibreNN’/. If so that implies there is some other software involved.

Word.
So I guess calibre just accepts anything from word?

calibre generated EPUBs from DOCX files do not "have wrong headers" whatever that means. I suggest you simply tell whoever is complaining to educate themselves about EPUB.

And there is nothing wrong with

Code:

<p class="somfink"> </p>

although as itimpi pointed out I seriously doubt those were generated by calibre. DOCX conversion do take class names from docx style names, but I highly doubt there is a docx style named "somfink"

somfink = something = example

could it be that Abbyy (document saved as HTML) generates that? Word keeps it?
