Here are the rules I've added to the Transform section of Look and Feel:
Spoiler:
Most of these entries will remove many or most of the CSS codes that Calibre says are invalid, so they are never listed when I check the book after running the conversion--which saves a ton of time. Last edited by theducks; 03-27-2018 at 02:38 PM. Reason: Spoiler neede AGAIN |

The Transform rules can be copied and pasted into a file called rules.txt and then imported into your Transform section by clicking the Import button at the bottom of that screen.
The Extra CSS codes can be copied and pasted into the Styling section. These have all been added to my conversion settings periodically over the last several months, as I found each of them or thought of how to fix things, as I modified and converted thousands of files. So, it would be very quick and easy to add all of the above to your conversion settings. Then I would be interested to hear from anyone who thinks this has helped them at all.

The extra CSS needs editing. There are things in it that most people won't need. Also, some of your rules need editing/deleting. Plus, your extra CSS is not going to work in a lot of cases. I've seen many eBooks where most of your extra CSS would be useless.This is why hand editing is easier. It works in ALL cases. Plus, once you know who to hand edit, it's not that difficult.

Convert will ignore the classes that aren't in the current .css file, so if people don't need some of the things, then it doesn't matter, but most things that need to be fixed will be fixed by one or more of those extra CSS codes. As I've said before, there are times when something needs to be fixed manually, but mucho time can be saved by using all of these codes. The lists I posted are only to give people an idea of how to do things automatically and to save time. They can choose what they want and what they don't want.
Let me know what you think needs editing, please. I know of nothing that needs editing or deleting, since I've seen all of these things in books I've worked with in the past, and that's why they are included in the lists. Since I'm a perfectionist, I always proofread everything I do, so I'm fairly sure there are no errors in those two lists. I figured you would post something negative and useless, though, since that's what you do and is why you are called a curmudgeon. Arguing seems to be your life (and I also don't think you actually have read everything I've said). On the other hand, I'm here to help others save lots of time and make all of this go much quicker.

Formatting all books in library
Quote:
I also create a specific user dictionary, if I have several books from the same author on the same theme. (Name the dictionary for the author or the theme) They usually have specialized words repeated in more than one book. Oh, and I also update the default user dictionary to include properly spelled words such as contractions or common colloquialisms. |

The Editor Chains plugin has an action (Inline styles to CSS) that can transform inline styles to CSS. This process should be straightforward for books that contains only inline styles, as in your use case. Note however, that in books that have both inline styles and CSS sheets (or style tags), this can lead to problems with formatting, because converting can clash with CSS rules of precedence, specificity .... etc which can make CSS cascade run different before and after conversion. So to guard against this problem, the plugin will calculate the effective style for each element before and after the conversion to CSS, and if they are not the same for every element, it will not go ahead with the conversion (there is an option to partially override this for only for elements that won't be affected).

You can also run your automation on multiple books by using the Action Chains plugin together with Editor Chains. Last edited by capink; 09-03-2024 at 02:09 AM. |
