Blank pages between chapters?
It seems like the Calibre Viewer is adding blank pages between chapters now. For me it's pretty much every book. Has anyone else noticed this? (I used Linux, currently using Calibre 7.14.)

I have noticed that with some books. For most of them, when I look at the content, I find that for some reason that I can't wrap my mind around, the last lines of the text are blank lines. This can also happen when a margin-bottom is used to give space between paragraphs which is why I prefer a padding-top. Sample from one recent book:
Code:
<p style="margin:0.00% 0.00%; text-align:center; widows:0; orphans:0"> <span style=" font-size:1.25rem"> </span> </p> <p style="margin:0.00% 0.00%; text-align:center; widows:0; orphans:0"> <span style=" font-size:1.25rem"> </span> </p> <p style="margin:0.00% 0.00%; text-align:center; widows:0; orphans:0"> <span style=" font-size:1.25rem"> </span> </p> <p style="margin:0.00% 0.00%; text-align:center; widows:0; orphans:0"> <span style=" font-size:1.25rem"> </span> </p> <p style="margin:0.00% 0.00%"> </p> </div> Last edited by DNSB; Today at 01:26 AM. |

When you have crappy HTML/CSS, you can get weird behavior.
I'm pretty sure that a compliant HTML renderer could turn all that into nothing at all, since each p contains nothing but spaces, which can be collapsed into a content box of 0px wide and 0px high. Since there is no additional margin or padding, the entire box would be 0px high and whatever the page width is for width. So, among all the ways to try to add vertical space, what you found is probably the worst, as it might not even work. |
