Formatting in Sigil
Greetings all.
I'm trying my hand at writing my own ebook using Sigil, however I'm having trouble formatting it the way I'd like. Specifically, I do not want any spacing between paragraphs, and after the first paragraph, I would like an indent just like you see in a paperback book. Every time I begin an new paragraph, Sigil creates a blank line and the new paragraph is once again left aligned. I've opened other Sigil ebooks which are formatted the way I want mine to look, and cut and pasted some of the code in the code view to my book, but still no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks |

Brush up on CSS. You're seeing the default style for paragraphs.

<style type="text/css"> /*<![CDATA[*/ p { margin: 0 0; text-indent: 1em; text-align: justify; } /*]]>*/ </style> Every paragraph (including the first one) will use this. It will have a small indent and there will be no space between paragraphs. Did this get you a bit closer to the formatting you want ? |
