I'm having trouble editing an epub in Sigil that has breaks after each paragraph as
 
I'm trying to get all the new paragraphs to be indented.

It looks like this

Text goes here and its a paragraph and reading this is boring blah blah blah. 
This is the new line, this is where I cannot seem to get an indent for the new line, causing all the text to be broken into different paragraphs correctly, but not indent these lines 
This line would also not be indented as I would like...

I'm able to edit the sytlesheet to have the calibre2 be indented. But I cannot get the calibre1 to be indented and I need to maintain the structure in the document because to do otherwise is immensely painful. I've tried adding this to the style sheet

.calibre1 {
text-indent: 1.5em;
}
br.calibre1 {
text-indent: 1.5em;
}
br {
text-indent: 1.5em;
}

I've even tried changing it from <br.../>/ to <p.../> and adding the proper entries in the style sheet. But i still cant seem to touch it because of the <.../> formatting.

Am I missing something?
