_=""

foosion · 09-10-2024, 02:41 PM

An ebook I'm editing has some images that I wanted to be smaller. I added a width style:

Code:

<img style="width: 60%" src="images/xyz.jpg" alt=""/>

Calibre's editor flagged this and, when asked, auto-corrected to

Code:

<img style="width: 60%" _="" src="images/xyz.jpg" alt=""/>

My search skills are not adequate to find _="". Please explain the change.

I suspect this is just a glitch because of the order of attributes
You might try a ; after 60%

You're right. Must be more careful.

If you haven't run across it already, a good place to learn and experiment with regex is:

Alas, I'm familiar enough with regex to appreciate the old quote, "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems."

The meaning of _="" in a CSS file continues to elude.

May I ask if you post what the original code was that triggered this issue? I tried to generate a similar ePub (both 2 and 3) using the code you posted and did not get the oddity you showed either using calibre's ebook-editor or Sigil.

I'm sorry to say I haven't been able to recreate it. I heavily edited the ebook in many steps before and after adding the 60%. To give an indication of the initial file:

Code:

      <div class="inline-image inline-image-size-medium inline-image-flow-center inline-image-flow-within-text inline-image-aspect-wide inline-image-without-caption inline-image-begins-section inline-image-before-element-end">

        <div class="inline-image-container">

          <img src="images/chapno-1.jpg" alt=""/>

        </div>

      </div>
