Hello - I'm new to Calibre and ebooks, so please pardon my ignorance. I've tried using the help and these forums to answer what seems like a simple issue, but I just can't seem to nail it down. Hope I'm not being repetitive.

I have a book in simple text file format. It has dos form feed characters (Hex 0c, octal 014) between the pages. I simply want to convert to epub format and have those show up as page breaks. The Calibre conversion program seems to convert them to an empty string.

Can I simply use my text editor to convert the form feeds to a string Calibre will recognize and convert to a page break?

I have very limited experience working with html tags, so please be gentle. Thank you.
