It generally works well.
The problem is, there are some lines you want left blank: scene breaks, spaces between chapter number and text, etc. Is there any way of telling Calibre to leave these blanks alone? I'm not sure how it would know the difference, but Calibre is a very clever program, and I wondered if there was a way.

Exactly! The answer is supposed to be a lot of editing in HTML, which I don't do. Not all of us have the time/inclination to spend on this. My collection of several hundred ebooks (mostly formatted by me in Book Designer) is in lrf. I foresee that someday these will have to be converted to epub.
It seems to me that the Calibre conversion process ought to recognize this situation. After all, if there is a blank line in the existing document, there must be a reason for it. And the conversion process should see and account for it. Why is the current option all or nothing? Why can't Calibre see a blank line and just leave it there?
