| *** MISC. TIPS *** | |
| * MOBI does not support the "list-style" or "list-style-type" CSS properties, so be careful when marking up lists or list-like content. | |
| * Images *might* have to be placed within some kind of block-level element, regardless of what styling you assign to them. For example, you might need to put each of your images inside divs...or paragraphs...or some other block-level element. | |
| * Use unicode for all non-standard characters, quotes, apostrophes, single quotes, ampersands, etc. |
