I would run the Regexes I mentioned in this topic for cleaning up some broken Calibre paragraphs:

As to the unclosed quote, this regex works with "smart quotes" with no closing quote (forget which user I grabbed this one from, thank you so much this one is very helpful):

Search:

Code:

(“[^”\r\n]*)</p>\s+<p>

Replace (notice the space after "\1 ")

Code:

\1

If you wanted to dumb this down for dumb quotes (I did not test this, it should work, but it might be VERY ugly):

Search:

Code:

("[^"\r\n]*)</p>\s+<p>

Make sure to use all of these ONE BY ONE, and never do a "Replace All".

If you want these to work for calibre code, change the Red "<p>" into "<p class="calibre[0-9]+">"
