Reply To: CSS for dropcaps exporting to epub

Coming back to this after a 4 year break!!

My custom css file is working fine.
But The idGenDropCap-1 class is still being created in the idGeneratedSyles.css even through I have the same class (.dropcaps) in my custom css file and use export mapping to link the two.

I think I read somewhere (but cannot find the references now) is that the reason that my own dropcap character style is not showing up as the .dropcaps class in the css file is that I have local overrides turned off.

Please could someone confirm this?

Also, a best practice question, is there any value in trying to eliminate all idGen… classes from the idGeneratedSyles.css stylesheet. I have got it down to just 5 out of the 51 classes (3 char and 2 objects) and wonder if its worth while trying to eliminate those. I think I will have to live with the dropcap style being generated.
