Epub_Export_Hyperlinks_Underline

Hi James,

indeed. The reader has the final say.

Usually text-decoration:none in the CSS should be sufficient.

But even if I see that already in the CSS of a cracked open reflowable EPUB the Thorium Reader or the Calibre ebook viewer will still do an underline.

So I did the following, I changed span.Hyperlink in the idGeneratedStyles.css from:

span.Hyperlink {
	color:#22599b;
}

to:

span.Hyperlink {
	color:#22599b;
	text-decoration:underline;
	text-decoration-color:rgb(255,255,255);
}

Well, that's a hack only, a white underline that is working with a white background.

The white underline will be visible if I change the viewer's theme from "Neutral" to e.g. "Night".

James, do you have an idea to turn it off in the EPUB viewer?

If you disabled underline in the character style and the character style is applied to the hyperlinks and the hyperlinks are underlined, then the underline must somehow have been applied as a local override. You can undo that by searching for the character style, and removing the underline (i.e. apply -underline):

Hyperlinks are applied a character style called Hyperlink by default. Disable underline in that character style and all links will be fixed.
