CSS Lost, epub->azw3

[MyName]

Standard Ebooks project: Epub file with a cite tag inside a paragraph inside a blockquote.
There is css attached to the cite tag in core.css and css that over-rides it in local.css.
The document displays correctly as an epub. When converting the epub to azw3, the over-ride CSS is lost and the cite is displayed incorrectly.
calibre 5.37, ubuntu 22.04
to see an example, search in the document for: "—Rev. 21. 8."

Thank you in advance.

that is because it uses !important. This is not supported by the
conversion pipeline, and adding support for it is rather more work than
I am interested in doing. Use proper css specificity for your overrides
instead of a hack like !important. For instance, change the selector to
blockquote cite in local.css as well

Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every alternate Friday.
