More abstractly, the problem is that you should never be using the <br/> tag in hand-written HTML. You should use semantic markup around anything you want to be rendered as a block-level box and use CSS to set appropriate display and margins.
When I learned html coding in college <br> tags were part of the learning experience. Last time I checked <br> is valid html coding.

Is there another equivalent to <br> that does not require stylesheet coding? Because in my book the people who were coding mobipocket and MS Reader screwed things up. <br> stands for a line break not paragraph.

grrrr

Not angry at you in fact I appreciate your advice it's just frustrating because all my files use <br> to designate line breaks and it's worked for LRF and I did not want to create two separate html files one for LRF the other for Mobi.

Basically, you kind of gave me an answer I didn't want to hear.
