This post is to help anyone who'd like to modify the style or look of the epubs downloaded at the A03 Archive.
I made a new "Extra CSS" code to use in Calibre to convert the A03 epubs to epub. I also found out how to remove underlines on the Chapter links and turn the font back. The purpose of the reconverting is to remove the blank paragraph space and replace it a indent at the start of a new paragraph. During the tests I also found out how to remove the underline on the Chapters so it looks more like a heading and less like a link. That was something I found kind of neat because the links still work. :) But they don't look like links.
Here is the code:
body { margin: 0; }
a {text-decoration: none; color: black;}
a [href] {text-decoration: none; color: black;}
p {margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt; text-indent: 15pt; text-align: justify;}
h1 { text-align: center;}
h2 {text-align: center; }
h3 { text-align: center;}
h4 { text-align: center; }
h5 { text-align: center; }
h6 { text-align: center; }
And here's more information on the
Look and Feel section of Calibre.
I've found that converting epub2epub gave me the best results.
I wasn't sure if I was the only one that preferred indents over the space but just in case I thought I should share.
I do not know how this would work for mobipocket downloaded files. I did test mobi to epub and it did not turnout well. I did not test mobi2mobi conversion.
All in all, this is 100x quicker than my previous method of formatting stories. :)
