Apart from using some Word VB, I've done practically no programming for many years.<br /><br />hint: (in my computer programming 101 course, the school where I received my non-computer science bachelor's degree from had my fellow students and I translating the Pascal code we were writing into pseudo code so it would run on the school's fortran compiler.)<br /><br />I've been banging the kinks out of my method for putting e-books together with for quite some time. Most of that's done to my satisfaction.<br /><br />The final step was learning the small bit of HTML you need to know to complete the process.<br /><br />I couldn't get the code example published on most site on the web to run. I have access to lots of books on HTML, but was unable to find anything that corrected the syntax errors I was using.<br /><br />It took me about 30 minutes, here on your site to identify what I was doing wrong and what I wasn't doing right. Prior to that I wasted a full week on research with the wrong materials and at the wrong sites.<br /><br />Thanks for the clearly illustrated examples and well-written descriptions.<br /><br />-RM-wb-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917601577161181396.post-53965766408995772292012-03-24T21:49:45.089+07:002012-03-24T21:49:45.089+07:00woops, that was meant to say "I'm NOT con...woops, that was meant to say "I'm NOT converting to ebooks" - sorry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917601577161181396.post-47517110217010717802012-03-24T21:48:59.620+07:002012-03-24T21:48:59.620+07:00Thanks for the helpful article.

I'm now converting to ebooks, but I'd been fighting with trying to indent multiple lines within a "span" tag and your post showed me what I'd been doing wrong - changed it to a "div" and all's fine :)<br />Guess that makes me more of a "div" for not knowing to start with ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917601577161181396.post-2419632172258499702011-12-28T21:03:27.667+07:002011-12-28T21:03:27.667+07:00Shame about the constant spam comments ;/ Can you ...Shame about the constant spam comments ;/ Can you remove the option for anonymous comments or something?Whothehellisthathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01801079461919974631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917601577161181396.post-78734991645586274612011-10-09T22:32:51.214+07:002011-10-09T22:32:51.214+07:00Glad these were useful. If you use h1 and h2 tags,...Glad these were useful. If you use h1 and h2 tags, they tend to be read differently on various eReading devices. You can try zeroing their margins and padding out with a reset in the CSS, and then adding declarations later on in the CSS. That seems to work okay. Your method sounds okay. Be careful with Font-family for the Kindle. I've only managed to get two fonts to work: the default one and a monospaced font which looks like ass, but I needed to use for the eBook version of this guide. Let me know how your h1 and h2 coding works out. I'm curious.Paul Salvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818202201018195312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917601577161181396.post-58191031018861899182011-10-09T21:53:51.904+07:002011-10-09T21:53:51.904+07:00Great tutorial.

I have a ton of experience coding in HTML and CSS, so there wasn't anything new for me here, but it's interesting to see what kind of restrictions I have to be aware of when coding my eBook.<br /><br />On the subject of H1s and H2s, what do you mean when you say "unpredictable results"? Could I, for instance, set the style to an exact look, so that it looks the same on all devices? I know that The default styles can differ, but if I specify the font-family and font-size etc., then wouldn't this make the headings "predictable" again?Whothehellisthathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01801079461919974631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917601577161181396.post-11814720382651700502011-10-09T21:52:58.962+07:002011-10-09T21:52:58.962+07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Whothehellisthathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01801079461919974631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917601577161181396.post-37470776802381658362011-09-02T09:04:57.829+07:002011-09-02T09:04:57.829+07:00I am glad you appreciate it.

I followed the kink here from http://www.lindsayburoker.com/ and have to say it's allowed me to format my writing far easier than I would have otherwise. And, since XHTML is so easy, I doubt I'll have any trouble learning the rest of it!<br /><br />Thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
