      Does PD4ML support the CSS attribute “font-size=x-large”?

      I’m trying to convert a document that’s created from a Wiki style rich text editor. The editor uses that attribute. I’m not able to preserve the size of the font after conversion. Is there a work around?

      Thanks in advance for any pointers.

        Yes, it is supported. But from CSS syntax perspective “font-size=x-large” is incorrect. It should use a colon symbol like that:

        Test

        Also please take into account: the resulting font size in PDF also depends on HTML-to-PDF scale factor. The scale factor is calculated this way:

        htmlToPdfScale = ( pageFormat.width – pageInsets.left – pageInsets.right ) / htmlWidth

        See:

          Thanks for the reply and sorry about the typo.

          Here is a test case

          <html>
<head>
<style>

.problem_style p, span {
font-size: inherit;
}

</style>
</head>

<body>

<div>
<span style="font-size: xx-large;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">
<em><strong>456</strong></em>
</span>
</span>
</div>

</body>
</html>

          Converting this to PDF will lose the font size. Through trial and error I found two tweaks can work around the problem
          1. remove the problem_stype
          2. swap the order of the two spans, i.e.

          <span style="text-decoration: underline;">
<span style="font-size: xx-large;">

          Unfortunately, I do need the style for the page, and the content is created from a 3rd party rich text editor. Therefore I could use neither work-around.

          Do you have any suggestions how I can make this work?

          Again, thanks in advance for any tips.

              Just-published v351b17 should fix the problem.
