First Line indent for Mobi conversion
Is there a way to get Calibre to indent the first line of paragraphs when converting to MOBI format?
If not, could this be considered for a future release? Thanks, Tom |

I think the option "remove space between paragraphs" will do it.

You can also use a CSS directive in your HTML.

I realize that if I'm converting from HTML that this is trivial. But if I'm converting from epub or other book format, or even if I have a mobi and would like to improve it, I'd love it if this were a feature.
I tried adding some css in the "Extra CSS section under conversion but it didn't appear to have any impact. This is what I added: p { text-indent:20px; } Is there some way to utilize this feature of Calibre to attain my goal? |

If you are converting from an ePub and the ePub has indents, then the Mobipocket file will also have indents.
If your source has it, so will your output. |

Try this:
p {text-indent:2em;} \n 1 em ~ 10px. G |
