I've attached an rtf file that converts fine on my system. It's the test file I used when investigating your original report about soft breaks being deleted.
This rtf converts to epub with spacing between paragraphs - but not blank lines - that's Calbre's default style. If you want to get rid of them add the following line to extra css under look and feel - note I've already explained this to you:
Code:
p {margin-top: 0em; margin-bottom: 0.3em}

Hi Idolse. Thanks for your patience.
I tried your test RTF. It behaves the same way. As in, I cannot get it to convert to epub without either getting a bunch of extra blank spaces (Default), or without the original spaces being removed (remove blank lines option). To be sure, I uninstalled Calibre 0.7.33 and re-installed up to 0.7.34.
I tried maximum line height 100%. I wasn't quite sure what this did since I didn't see much of a change.
Your CSS code does the trick with a minor change. I ended up with this:
p {margin-top: 0em; margin-bottom: 0em}
which gives me the desired results: Retaining the original look of the text with occasional whitespace for scene change, etc. Thanks! I added it as the default...hopefully it doesn't cause problems with any other filetypes or anything.
Adding blank lines between paragraphs is still a strange default in my book, but that's another topic
. Your CSS code seems to be setting the paragraph margins = 0...right? That's why no blank space between paragraphs added.
This would make a better checkbox than the "remove blank lines" option IMO. That seems to be, if I understand right, add paragraph margins (blank lines), and then remove them...which results problem I started this thread about - all lines, even the ones that were there originally, being removed.
I appreciate the help. A little extra CSS code is easier than converting to filtered html in Word first.
