Clara BW Kobo BW support for text-align-last?

Fiji · 08-10-2025, 04:37 AM

I thought text-align-last was supported by epub3, but my Kobo BW seems to ignore it for both epub 3s and kepubs. It works in Calibre preview in the editor, so the CSS is correct. I tried sending to the Kobo through Calibre as both an epub and a kepub and neither respect the property. Is there any work around/way to emulate the style?

IIRC Kobo's version of RMSDK does not support EPUB3, so regular EPUB will ignore all such features. The WebKit renderer used by KEPUB does support EPUB3, but it's not exactly modern. You could create a separate style for the last line of text and enclose every last line in a span tag with that style, I suppose.

That won't worlk. You have no idea where the last line will be. If I find I want the font size larger, that will change the last line. Also, I don't think this will work even if you had the correct line.
