Hello! Apologies if this has been answered somewhere else, but I have a novel I'm turning into an EPUB in InDesign, and some paragraphs need a blank line between them while some don't. I know I can use CSS to add space before/after paragraphs, but the problem is that not all paragraphs require a blank line space between them so I'm not sure what is the easiest way to do this without individually finding each paragraph and signifying whether it should have a blank line after it (and with almost 700 pages this isn't really the best option). I do have [blankline] marked for the blank lines so if there would be a way to do some sort of GREP or Find/Replace that would be helpful, I just can't wrap my head around the most efficient way to do this. Thanks for your help!
