The ballon help and manual could be a little more verbose in this area
I would like to see a way to highlight a sequence of paragraphs and either remove the <p>....</p> so that the sequence can be pulled into a single paragraph in the code or to perform this automatically.

I would like to format and post some of the old pulp fiction magazines but the only format available is pdf in two column format. All of the PDF2HTML tools I've tried formats each line as a paragraph, which is understandable. This requires manual editing of each line. Very carefully!


I'm sure there is a simpler way to do this but I'm not smart enough to build or find them.

I love the old pulps and I'm sure that there are other fans out there. Perhaps some day.


Edit: A PS
If every thing highlighted had all tags removed and then enclosed in <p>...</p> that should meet all requirements becaiuse it would allow further editing into whatever format desired.
