EPUB: End of paragraph after letters with accent?

[wildbilly]

Just started using Calibre (Great Stuff!) with my PRS600.

Only minor issue i found converting .pdf italian books in .EPUB is that seems Calibre automatically add an "end of paragraph" after any letter with accent (backward or forward i.e. à è é ..).

I did try the conversion to Ascii in Look&Fell Menu but it only replace the letters with accent with same letter without accent and leave the paragraph break ...

I am now fixing this manually using Sigil after conversion, but i was wondering if i am missing any smarter way to use Calibre Conversion options.

Thank you in advance for the support!

Further details.

Debugging the conversion, if in the input files there is a sentence like:

"Quello che sto cercando di dire è soltanto che
tutto quello che è stato non sara più perchè
ormai tutto è diverso"

The "parsed" file will be formatted as:

" Quello che sto cercando di dire è soltanto che tutto quello che è stato non sara più perchè

ormai tutto é diverso".

It means that not all the letters with accent are considered as end of paragraph but only letters with accent at the end of each input row.

Anybody with hints ?!?
Any possibility to customize output plugin?

Thank you again,
Andrea

Are you sure the line is really one line? In your example, it looks like 3 lines. Can you attach a snippit of your book so we can also try it out?

Attached is a page excerpted by the html file created in the input directory during debugging.

On my parsed file i found wrong "end of paragraph" on the second line (this is understandable as is an esclamation mark within a spoken sentence), on line 4 (ending with word "necessità") and line 12 (ending with word "inchinò").

This is just an example: please note that i tried with several .pdf files from different sources and behaviour is always the same.
