Your right, to say your title lacks accuracy is being kind. Obviously calibre is preserving the layout. If you have books, converted by other folks, that have margins or padding. Calibre has nothing to do with the formatting you found.

That is my preference too. When I run into this I fix it. I know this is what you want too, to fix this.

Did you go to the CSS file and see what margin or padding is set for calibre2 or none2? If the paragraph is enclosed in a <div class=????> did you look at that margin that is set for the <div class=?????>?

Go into your CSS file in Sigil and change every instance of

margin-left: ???; to margin-left: 0;
padding-left: ???; to padding-left: 0;

Doing this will correct 99% of the situations you run into.

Of course some margins are used for special sections of text that the publisher wants block indented to stand out. These margins are desirable.

Good Luck.
