How to disable margin-bottom property on hidden_content class

mcandre · 02-04-2023, 03:28 AM

When I use Calibre to convert ebooks, then it adds a completely new property to a .hidden_content class:

.hidden_content {
display: none;
margin-bottom: 0.7em;
}

The margin-bottom then results in ebooks adding hundreds of useless blank pages between the chapters.

As a workaround, I'm developing a rather involved xmlstarlet script to strip the hidden and hidden_content-class tags from my books. (Neither the Calibre built-in style nor html tag rules engine is able to easily remove these.)

Has never happened to me, and I've converted thousands of ebooks over the past 11 years. Something must be amiss in your settings, or in the css of the books.
