Calibre changed all my text to bold after conversion
I converted an article, which contained various text formatting (e.g., regular, bold, italic, etc.), from EPUB to EPUB, wanting only to change the text alignment from justified to left-aligned, but after conversion all my text was in boldface!
![]() Can someone tell me how to prevent this from happening? I've looked but not been able to find help on this topic. Thank you! Frank D (Note: Originally posted in a different forum.) Sorry, I see I've posted in the wrong forum. I'll switch over to the MobileRead Forums > E-Book Software > Calibre > Conversion forum. Last edited by frank14612; 12-18-2013 at 05:31 PM. |

Solved.
OK, I've just repeated the conversion on three more e-books and the dreaded bolding did NOT happen. Something in that one book must have been unique. So I'll "call off the dogs." Thanks for any interest in this topic. I'll consider it resolved. Frank D Last edited by frank14612; 12-18-2013 at 05:33 PM. |

theducks, thanks!
Just a curiosity item (as I'm no longer in danger of the error): I checked it at: W3C CSS Validator http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator and got the message: "Congratulations! No Error Found. This document validates as CSS level 3 ! " |

Usually finding and removing the one class in the CSS that is causing the book to be globally altered to bold does not alter the CSS classes that cause individual words or phrases to be bold. |
