Creating a line under chapter number
Hi, I need help. I am still learning Calibre. To create an elegant, small line between my chapter number and my character’s name at the chapter opener, is it better to use a png of a small line, or is it ok to use a Bergamot Ornament typeface?
Selecting the tilde ~ gives a nice little line in Bergamot Ornament. But I’m worried that all epub readers will strip out the Bergamot Ornament typeface. I see these lines with tapered ends in other epubs. Are they using images? Thanks!! |

There are various methods, but it depends on...
1. What type of line you are wanting. Just a simple straight line, or some type of ornamental Fleuron? 2. Which ereader will you be reading it on? Maybe post a screenshot of what you want it to look like. |

Or simple, basic CSS ways
Keywords: <hr /> text-decoration: underline (see the 'box model' theory for understanding) border-bottom padding-bottom |

Then no margin-left is needed, but yes the math approach is reliable. Of course maybe the line isn't wanted to be centred, but margin-left: 1.5em;. |
