Trying to modify conversion parameters

[Terisa de morgan]

Hi,

I don't know if this has already answered so I apologize in advance if I'm duplicating themes. I've just purchased a Kobo Mini and I need to set two different options set for files to work in a proper way:
* Margins: I need no left and right margins. I don't mean 0 value, but no options in general class (.calibre).
* Page control: I need to set widows and orphans to 0.

I need these options to work for ebook-convert (not GUI), and for any output and input format.

Thanks in advance.

Ciao

I don't use the CLI myself but from the manual it looks like these are the options you need to use:

For L/R margins:

--margin-left

    Set the left margin in pts. Default is 5.0. Setting this to less than zero will cause no margin to be set. Note: 72 pts equals 1 inch

--margin-right

    Set the right margin in pts. Default is 5.0. Setting this to less than zero will cause no margin to be set. Note: 72 pts equals 1 inch

and for widows/orphans this one:

--extra-css

    Either the path to a CSS stylesheet or raw CSS. This CSS will be appended to the style rules from the source file, so it can be used to override those rules.

Thank you very much, as always, I should have read the manual
