Hey, if it's 1am there you ought to go to bed (I know I would).

It appears I have two choices -- I can remove all the paragraph breaks from the ODT file and this does convert just fine to an ePub document without paragraph breaks between paragraphs... except there is no indent at the start of each paragraph.

I can fix that by adding one paragraph break in the ODT file but then I get the indent AND an additional paragraph break in the resultant ePub file. So I'm darned if I do and darned if I don't. There doesn't appear to be any way to eat your cake and have it too.

I'm guessing there is one additional thing I don't know, but I'm going to look at some of the files which ARE correct and see if I can figure out what it is (my guess would be some sort of indent character that needs to be added somewhere).
