Hi

About the cm2em feature.
1. - Can we run it on both (or all) stylesheets? EDIT. Installed the toolbar, found the arrow, unchecked the box...

If we have some style properties within the xhtml files which are using metrics, could it be made later to convert them too?

2. - There should probably be a warning for the first-time user.

Once the conversion has been done, it's advisable to check your EPUB (at least your stylesheet). The conversion process is just arithmetic. It goes from a plain value to another. The em, however, is a relative unit, and for big values (sometime as many as some centimeters...), it may look distorted and be much bigger than before. This happens about the way as you get a loooong shadow from a setting (or rising) sun (you did not really expect that one? ).

This is not a mistake. You have to know it.

3. - I am available to translate it in French.
