This original text:

is converted to the following text:
Code:
to
Unseelie Court
on
King Street
and tease
Cause:
MS Word Generated HTML/XHTML includes "smart tags." When such an HTML file is converted to ePub, these tags are translated, but errant <p> tags are inserted into the new html.
Original HTML code:
Code:
to <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address
w:st="on">Unseelie Court</st1:address></st1:Street> on <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address
w:st="on">King Street</st1:address></st1:Street> and tease
Translated HTML code:
Code:
to</p>
<address class="calibre8"><span>Unseelie</span> Court</address>
<p>on</p>
<address class="calibre8">King Street</address>
<p>and tease
Some solutions for end users:
Either erase the MSWord smart tags before converting, or fix the <p> tags by hand after converting (unzip ePub, edit .html or .xhtml files, rezip).

Yup!
I noticed that street names seem to get broken up instead of just Italicized.
Figured Kovid liked it that way
