Check your compile settings in Scrivener. What you see on the screen and what your compile formatting looks like are not the same thing unless you check compile as-is.
Yeah, I went through this and everything is as it should be. Nothing is being replaced, and all section boxes have the "compile as-is" checked. I'll have another look at it later, when my blood pressure has leveled off.Cheryl M. said:Check your compile settings in Scrivener.

Have you downloaded the new Scrivener updated version? It fixes the Kindle font bugs. Just compile for mobi as normal and there is no problem anymore.Nicole Ciacchella said:Victoria, thank you SO much for your help--you're a lifesaver. I've had very little experience with both Kobo and PubIt, so I haven't figured out their idiosyncrasies yet--I finally just figured out how to deal with KDP borking my mobi files on the Paperwhite and Fire. Gotta love it.
You can get into the CSS in Scrivener to see what's going on. Have you run it through an epub checker?Nicole Ciacchella said:Yeah, I went through this and everything is as it should be.

I updated a month or so ago, so I'll have to look into this. I'm working on a serial now so I'll be dealing with mobis again soon. Thanks for this advice too!Victoria Champion said:Have you downloaded the new Scrivener updated version? It fixes the Kindle font bugs.

I forget how different Scrivener is on PC. : /Victoria Champion said:Have you downloaded the new Scrivener updated version? It fixes the Kindle font bugs. Just compile for mobi as normal and there is no problem anymore.
You should be able to 'show invisibles' in your word processing program - I know you can in Scrivener. Invisibles are the formatting symbols - paragraph and line breaks, spaces represented by dots, etc... . You need to have this switched on to fully understand what I am talking about - and then you can modify your formatting by simply looking at the symbols and inserting what needs to be where.Ruth Harris said:Victoria, thanks!
I haven't uploaded to PubIt or Kobo yet so just to be clear:
a paragraph break = hitting the "return" key once
a line break = hitting the "return" key 2 times
Is this correct or have I misunderstood?
Are there any pitfalls we should know about with Apple?
