if you set Freda's 'remove blank lines' setting to yes, then blank lines will be removed everywhere, whether at the end of sections, or at the ends of paragraphs, or wherever. The best way to ensure that you get a blank line after some element in Freda is to set a margin below the element ("margin-below" in the CSS Style). Freda's parsing of CSS styles is a bit flakey, but it should be able to understand that (but make sure that the setting 'max margin' is set to some value other than zero - a zero value for that setting will mean that Freda suppresses all margins).
If you don't want to start messing about with margins, then probably your best bet is to use the Freda settings:
line break after para = no
force indent = yes
remove blank lines = no
This should mean that any place you actually insert a line break (element "<br>") in your file, you will see a line break. Paragraphs will not have space inserted between them, but the first line of each paragraph will be indented.
Do let me know how you get on, and by all means send me some sample files and style sheets, if you'd like me to check what exactly Freda is doing with them, and to fix the program in any places where it is doing the wrong thing.
