A slight mystery:

I use ePub to convert my Mobi books to Calibre. All these Mobi books use "<br>" to indicate a blank line.

In some books I've converted, Calibre converts the line to:

<br class="calibrex"/>

This displays as a blank line in Calibre's ePub view, but unfortunately not in the "real" ADE viewer, either on the PC or on my Bookeen Opus.

On other books, Calibre converts some of the lines to:

<p class="calibrex" style="margin:0pt; border:0pt; height:1em">

and this does display correctly as a blank line in ADE and on the Opus.

Unfortunately, though, in these same books, it converts other (identical) lines to:

<p class="calibrex" style="margin:0pt; border:0pt; height:0pt">

which again does not display as a blank in ADE or the Opus.

Is this something which is "fixable"? Shall I raise a ticket?
