in previous version there was a yellow broom icon but that has now gone. I cannot see any "clean this code - now" option

I do have clean set to operate on opening / saving but can find no way to force a cleanup without saving ( and in this crummy code instance - the clean on save operation hangs up...)

I had a poor source where each chapter was one paragraph with double <br class=.../> separators between sentences.

I tried all regexing those into<p ... > & letting tidy insert the matching end tags but could not succeed with that approach, because I could not force tidy to run on the whole book except by saving - which hung up.
I could force a tidy on a per chapter basis by toggling into book view and selecting fix automatically, but there a lot of chapters & I did not want to do them individually like that; I wanted to force a clean of the entire book.

I wimped out, went to calibre & did epub to mobi, then mobi back to epub,.

That sorted it, but what could/should I have done ?
