HTML input -<b> and <i> being converted to block elements?

I've got an html input file containing data such as

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor <b>sit</b> amet</p>

however the converted HTML file within the .zip that Calibre creates contains the following:

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor </p>
<b>sit</b>
<p>amet</p>

Which is entirely not the expected behaviour. Are there any abilities to tweak this? It's not really fixable using CSS. The same happens with <i> tags, <strong>, and presumably <em> too.

Cheers

This will happen only if your html is broken. Run the html through a validator like

http://validator.w3.org/

fix the errors then convert
