css override code for margins?
Hi,
I'm not sure what code to use in the override box to get the page to use my margins instead of the settings in Calibre? I'm trying to get the top and bottom margin down to 0. I'd appreciate any and all help. Thanks |

It should look something like the following (change the numbers to suit your preferences):
body { margin-left:0; margin-right:0; margin-top:0; margin_bottom:0; } |

I tried that code but it didn't seem to affect the bottom and top margins. I tried p {margin-left:0; margin-right:0; margin-top:0; margin_bottom:0;} and that seemed to work better. Not sure if it's proper coding or not but at least I no longer have 1 inch margins at the bottom of my files. |

Oops. You caught a typo. I wrote margin_bottom; it should read margin-bottom.

is the body selector just different from other selectors? Or is there more going on? And is body {margin-left:0; margin-right:0; margin-top:0; margin_bottom.0;} more correct than p {margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt; text-indent: 15pt;} Last edited by Amalthia; 08-11-2009 at 02:59 PM. |

okay to be absolutely clear this is the correct css code? body {margin-left:0; margin-right:0; margin-top:0; margin_bottom.0 } I'm still confused if this is correct as to why you would not have a semicolon at the end of margin_bottom.0 |

![]() I also don't understand why you think I dropped the semicolon. I didn't. Go look at my first post in this thread. The only error in it is that I used an underscore instead of a dash. |

The correct code is....
Code:
body { margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; } p { text-indent: 1.1em } |
