But PG has adopted standards which limit the range of tags and CSS you can use, so you may not be able to specify changes in background color or font, such as Alice in Wonderland. Some contributors put their HTML elsewhere, perhaps for this reason. Bad news.
A slight correction: it's true that if you submit HTML files, it's likely for CSS, bgcolors and other stuff to be stripped out. Part of this is our automated "add a header" programs. Part is a desire to let the HTML be fairly generic. But if you have an eBook that you'd really like to be displayed with particular colors, fonts, etc., just ask. The only real "standard" is that we strongly desire valid HTML (per http://validator.w3.org). The rest is processing, programs and procedures, which might have the same impact as a standard sometimes, but should not be mistaken for one. As MH likes to say, we're pretty well willing to try almost anything, at least in small quantities. Just ask. -- Greg
