When I try to remove the first <p>, and replace the </p> with a <br>, it won't let me. I'm not sure what to do to get the formatting that I want.
1) you can't break up a Tag pair
2) adjust the paragraph style (might/should be in the stylesheet)
margin-bottom and or margin-top values. there is little need for empty paragraphs as you show (except for scene breaks)
3) <br /> can't be naked. it must be contained inside a tag pair (H or P)
