As an additional to what the others have said, once you remove the <p>
page#</p> Siglil will remove the extra blank line when you click save. You won't be ending up with 2 blank lines if you just remove the page number line so there is no need to try and remove them with find/replace. And of course blank lines in View Code do not show up when reading.
If however you want to remove the spaces between paragraphs that you see when
reading then you need to set the paragraph margins in your CSS sheet:
p {
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
The above will affect ALL <p> tags, so if you need spacing in a few paragraphs (scene changes) you need to add a scene change tag, I use:
.scenechange {
margin-top: 0.25em;
margin-bottom: 0.25em'
}
and then:
<p class="scenechange"> </p>
