Hi -- I've been trying to convert this page, with images and drilling down to a depth of one:
http://www.villarevak.org/misc/tarotl_1.html

When I view this collection in iSilo on my PC, the page and collected pages look OK and resizing the window correctly resizes the text.

But when I look at in iSilo on my Clie, the main text is in a narrow column in the center of the screen, as are all the pages linked from it. I've gone in to iSilox and told it to ignore all table formatting (I'm assuming the text is in a table, I don't know for sure), yet the text still comes out formatted in a narrow column. My expectation is that the text would fill the screen and wrap accordingly. However, I only get the narrow column.

Advice, please? I'm sure it's some setting I don't know about yet.

thx--mike

The source content probably specifies margins. In iSiloX, in the Properties dialog for the entry you set up for conversion of the content, go to the Margins tab, and try setting the Margins option to Ignore only left and right margins specified on body, division, and paragraph blocks. If that does not resolve the issue, try setting the Padding option to Ignore only left and right padding specified on body, division, and paragraph blocks.

I had assumed they were using tables, but you were right--adjusting the margins fixed the problem. Yet another troubleshooting tweak to keep in the file. Thanks!
