Remove <p> tags?

[sideburnt]

I'm trying to remove <p> tags from my LIT files. I have a grasp of CSS so I have tried to nulify the carrage return with

p { margin:0px; padding:0px; }

but this doesn't work.

Can anyone help?, I'm hoping to do this via the CSS override in Calibre, rather than processing via a HTML editor first (e.g. find and replace )

What exactly do you want to remove? You may want to try adding "text-indent: 0;" to the CSS (or even "display: none;").

display:inline; does the trick, now to get calibre to recognise the paragraphs.

and to be clear, its the line breaks I'm trying to remove. I have a lot of LIT files from work that are quite old and have pages set out thus;

<p>hello I'm a piece of text blah blah blah blah</p>
<p> and I'm the second line of the original text</p>]

Which displays on my 505 as

hello I'm a piece of text blah blah
blah blag
and I'm the second line of the original
text
etc etc etc etc etc

UGLY.

Then yes, it's "display: inline;" what you need. But the LIT are broken if they have each line wrapped in <p> tags.
