ePUB tweaking is done

At last, after days of digging for info (Lulu's FAQs are useless for this), I have fixed the non-resizing font in my ePUBs. I've also, incidentally, removed thousands upon thousands of hidden code that made my ePUBs larger in size.

Why didn't Lulu's converter convert my docs right? Not sure. The converter, I think, should have been programmed to strip from a document anything unnecessary to an ePUB, but it doesn't do that.

Why didn't I know my documents had all this unnecessary stuff? It is hidden to the point it cannot be seen. Really. I literally had to cut and paste each story onto a fresh Word doc (I use Word 2003). Then I had to kill all formatting. Then I had to re-do the paragraph formatting. And after that, I had to add in all the italics, searching my back up doc for each instance and adding it into the new copy.

It took days. I'm tired. I learned more about CSS. I learned more about ePUBs. I'm tired. Yes, I'm repeating myself.

Ok, so I'm back on track. Next up, finish the final final final ePUB edit of Redemption 2. Will take a few days. I'm tired.

I'll just crawl to my bed now and rest my brain. Wish me luck or bless me. I may have CSS nightmares.

But I'm happy it's all done! Yay! :D

Now I'm going to bed.
