Description Richie 2024-09-18 15:51:47 UTC
Description:
Even though the "Do not add space between paragraphs of the same style" is ticked in Paragraph styles, the resulting EPUB when converted to Kindle has spaces between paragraphs of the same style. The work around is to have zero lines between paragraphs and manually add a space to the last paragraph of a style.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a document with different styles containing different fonts, a book font, a typewriter emulation font, etc.
2.To separate the sections, set the below paragraph setting to .5 lines, and tick the "Do not add space between paragraphs of the same style' box. The screen will look as expected.
3. Export to EPUB. Uploaded that to Amazon and view with the Kindle previewer. 

Actual Results:
Kindle previewer showed spaces between paragraphs of the same style.

Expected Results:
I wanted the same results as I saw in the original document. Work around (more work after dealing with frustrated client) was to set all styles to zero lines between paragraphs, and go change the setting of the paragraphs at the end of sections.  I wanted the typewriter emulation font section, etc., to be separated from the other font sections.


Reproducible: Always
