I believe the situation Phil_C described is a general problem. In my experience, Calibre seems to either insert blank lines or take them out, but never just leave the format alone. (I haven't made a close study of it, mind you, but I've seen it happen a lot.)
I was actually talking about a more subtle variation on the problem, which is when you
want Calibre to remove blank lines between paragraphs because someone built an ebook that way, thinking it was desirable. (In Mobi Creator, for example, where that is one way it can come out.) But while you want those extra blank lines removed, you do
not want original spaces between scenes removed, or spaces between title and text, and that kind of thing.
What I don't know is whether there's any way Calibre can distinguish between the two cases. I don't know if the markup generated to add the space between paragraphs is the same or different from the other. But it would be great if Calibre could do a "smart convert" where it identified places to leave the blank lines. One marker might be that centered text often needs to have a blank line before and after. Such as this...

Is that possible?
