I wasn't clear if I was supposed to hit the space bar twice or write type 2 spaces here, but once my coffee kicked in I did as you asked and replaced with one space! Woot!

For example if you bookmark the actual chapter heading it will jump to normal body text if you navigate via the NCX sidebar etc - to avoid this, place a space character above the heading and bookmark that instead (but not the paragraph symbol as well, just the space character)<br /><br />And line breaks made by Enter key presses do not render in their mobi versions, leading to cramped text (horizontally). To get around this we place a "space after" attribute in the paragraph settings of 12pts per space required. You can save this attribute as a new Style in your quick style gallery by right clicking on the text with the new attribute and selecting "save selection as new quick style" - for lines in italics you have to save a new style because it will jump to regular text if you use the first new style you made...Stef Mcdaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234408718213314491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807709385055737169.post-59989422110343665882014-07-28T17:09:57.844+01:002014-07-28T17:09:57.844+01:00People complain about Smashwords Style Guide, but ...People complain about Smashwords Style Guide, but it clearly illustrates how to remove all formatting and use a corrected template to do all these things at once.

Better to find the tab characters and replace them with something epub-friendly - sometimes a space, sometimes a paragraph character and sometimes nothing - depends on what the tab character is trying to do. They are often used to indent new paragraphs (bad) so in that case replace them with nothing and use the top ruler arrow to set the indent (as per my layout tips article in the ribbon above). Tabs need to be manually checked in turn, not replaced all at once, because of the variables - hope this helps...TweetYourBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00067602865308405894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807709385055737169.post-2365390908071029582012-10-21T19:34:58.736+01:002012-10-21T19:34:58.736+01:00What does replace all with ^t do?What does replace all with ^t do?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07321811446989575626noreply@blogger.com
