Question Sigil/Calibre keeps adding indents?

Hello all,

So I am editing a version of the book World War Z. I bought the paperback before I got my kindle, but now since I got the kindle I wanted to put it on there as well.

In the epub version I downloaded, everything is a mess. In the book, there is one paragraph that is not indented. I assume the <p> tags add indents, so I simply remove them. This displays it properly on the "Book View" from where I made changes in the "Code View".

This is the code:

<p><br /></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><b>LHASA, THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF TIBET</b></p><br />

<b>[The world’s most populous city is still recovering from the results of last week’s general election. The Social Democrats have smashed the Llamist Party in a landslide victory and the streets are still roaring with revelers. I meet Nury Televaldi at a crowded sidewalk café. We have to shout over the euphoric din.]</b>

<p><br /></p>

In Bold is the paragraph that I want with NO indents. However, when I add the epub to calibre, convert it to mobi, then put it on my kindle, it comes out looking like this:

........[The world’s most populous city is still recovering from the results of last week’s general election. The Social Democrats have smashed the Llamist Party in a landslide victory and the streets are still roaring with revelers. I meet Nury Televaldi at a crowded sidewalk café. We have to shout over the euphoric din.]

instead of:

[The world’s most populous city is still recovering from the results of last week’s general election. The Social Democrats have smashed the Llamist Party in a landslide victory and the streets are still roaring with revelers. I meet Nury Televaldi at a crowded sidewalk café. We have to shout over the euphoric din.]

(the ...... acts as a paragraph.. couldn't add an indent on here)

How do I fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
