I found this thread in a search for paragraph.

I have a text file I created in Notepad++. It is a series of paragraphs that start with a tab character and end with a CRLF. I can see these if I tell the editor to 'show all characters'.

When I convert this otherwise plain-text file to either mobi or epub, I lose the paragraph breaks. All three paragraphs in my simple test file end up as one big paragraph.

My input file looks like this:

title(cr)(lf)
author(cr)(lf)
(cr)(lf)
(cr)(lf)
(tab)A paragraph of text containing several sentences.(cr)(lf)
(tab)A paragraph of text containing several sentences.(cr)(lf)
(tab)A paragraph of text containing several sentences.(cr)(lf)
(cr)(lf)
(cr)(lf)


The output looks like this:
author title

A paragraph of text containing several sentences. A paragraph of text containing several sentences. A paragraph of text containing several sentences.



So what are the proper options under text input during conversions that will preserve the paragraphs?

BTW, I don't remember having this problem earlier. I have 0.7.16 now and I seem to remember being able to do this at one time with little or no messing about. Maybe that's not right, but I think it is.

Thanks.
