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.
You could read up on Markdown (a Calibre text input preference)
or you could replace the FF with a HTML <hr /> tag and have a custom style for HR with page-break-before: always as one of its properties
