Using the Editor for a newbie
I have short story that I converted from an .lrf file. Unfortunately the conversion is a messed up. With breaks in the text artificially sprinkled throughout the document. Since I also have the short story in a pbook, it was easy enough to address. Where I am struggling is that I can seem to get an a text indent for every line break.
Here is the stylesheet. .body { display: block; font-size: 1.125em; line-height: 1.2; padding-left: 0; padding-right: 0; margin: 0 5pt } .bs { color: rgb(0, 0, 0); display: block; font-size: 0.88889em; font-weight: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 10pt; border: rgb(0, 0, 0) solid 0; margin: 0 } .calibre { display: block text-indent: 30pt; } .calibre1 { display: block; margin: 1em 0 text-indent: 30pt; } The line breaks are marked as <br class="calibre"/>. But at each line, there is no indent. A paragraph break will get an indent with <p class="calibre1">. And help would be much appreciated. Much thanks! |

Replace all instances of <br class="calibre"/> with </p><p class="calibre1">.

You have one of those books with 1 CODED paragraph and BR to make a newline
![]() You need to replace all the <br class="calibre"/> with </p> <p class="calibre1"> That ends the current actual paragraph and the starts a new one (using the remainder of the text) |

Using so does the br tag and class not support an indent?
I understand using the <p> gets the indent but <p> also creates a lot of visual separation between paragraphs that would not like to have. Much thx... |

That's because you have a 1em margin in your paragraph code. Change that to 0 if you don't want any spaces between paragraphs.

BR is inside a the text, so all you can do is Line height. W3schools is where you can learn about CSS. Not everything you see there is aimed at Web pages. EPUB is a subset |

Look at the css for the calibre1 style, it has 1em space for the top and bottom margins.
Code:
If the margin property has two values: margin: 10px 5px; top and bottom margins are 10px right and left margins are 5px Code:
.calibre1 { display: block; margin: 0; text-indent: 30pt; } Code:
.calibre1 { margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0; text-indent: 30pt; } ] bernie Quote:
