    I’m trying to create a single Indesign CC document that I can use for POD , ePub and Mobi. I don’t mind a small amount of ePub-tweaking after export but that’s it.

    So, in this vein I’ve already given up on drop-caps, deciding to go with Up-caps instead (applied via a grep style). Trouble is, that when I export for ePub(3) the result is that the spacing after the first line of the paragraph is increased. I’m probably missing something obvious, but I can’t see why this is happening. Needless to say all is well on PDF export.

    Anyone with any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Roger

    Hi ignotron,

    I would like to take a look at your document to see why it is happening. You can upload it to dropbox and share the link with me at pja@adobe.com.

    Hi Roger,

    Chapter heading and chapter number both have got scaling applied on them. Scaling on text is not supported so this is one reason for the appearance mismatch.Please try removing scaling to see if the appearance gets better or not. Also, try increasing the leading of chapter heading text so that leading > font size, we don’t support line height as overrides so you will have to define this in the style itself just increase the text leading in the style definition.
    Let me know if this solved your problem.

    Regards,
    Pooja

    Thanks Pooja, removing the scaling did indeed fix the problem on the epub export. On running the epub through kindlegen however the problem manifested itself again! I’ve just decided for now to not make the first character too large so that it basically doesn’t notice in the Kindle version.

    By the way, the only other problem with the kindle conversion was that the toc was not referenced in a guide element (or landmarks), and it made me wonder why the epub export doesn’t just add these trivial things anyway. Wouldn’t do any harm would it?
