Neither had any effect.

Did you try what he told you to do, just like he said?

* { text-align: left !important }

Hey!!! That was it! Great!!!

I misunderstood kovidgoyal's message: I thought he was using the asterisk to denote a correction to my own command, as people sometimes do in IMs. I didn't realize the asterisk was actually part of the command.

Thanks for setting me straight!

But did you try with the exact code suggested (that is "*", and not "body")?

Good thinking, but this was already stated 6 days ago.

I hate it when I answer a question then go to the next page and see that someone beat me to it by almost a week.

Hello everyone!

I have a question: when using the 2-pages view of the Calibre reader, how can I change the margins on the left and right of the viewer window, but not in the middle, when the pages meet?

[echej]

And how do I add spacing between paragraphs? When I open the same book in foliate instead of calibre viewer it has spacing between paragraphs

[echej]

By paragraph I mean <p class="calibre_14">

[kovidgoyal]

You cannot have different width margins. And if you want to force spaces between <p> tags use the styles settings in the viewer preferences

p { margin-bottom: 1rem !important }

Hello

I had been using the old version of Calibre, but with my migration to W10, I have lost my steelsheet for the viewer.

Can anyone send their steelsheet for me to test ?

I will appreciate it.

Thanks in advance !

Since most everything can be set in the viewer preferences my style sheet is incredibly sparse and is no good to anyone. In it are small adjustments based on my background image. That said, here it is.



p {
margin-left: 1.25em !important;
margin-right: 1.15em !important;
}
body {
margin-top: 0.15em !important;
}

* { text-align: left !important } worked for me, but this is the only command that did any effect from all I tried.

Could you, please, give me a magic line to change the line spacing? I really need it and only it.

[belyjmedved]

I tried these four different options, none of them has made any difference to the text
* { line-spacing: 3.8; !important }
* { line-spacing: 3.8 !important }
body { line-spacing: 3.8; !important }
body { line-spacing: 3.8 !important }

Where did you find "line-spacing" as the CSS property you wanted to modify? I've seen line-height used as ( * {line-height: 1.10; } ) but I've never seen line-spacing.

I would suggest using Google or equivalent.

Can this work for line spacing?

p {
line-height: 300%;
}

Yes but why would you want every paragraph to be triple spaced? Though I have seen similar techniques used to boost page counts in Kindle Unlimited books. You might also want to add a !important after the 300%.

p {
line-height: 300% !important;
}
