I've got an ebook that is literally missing about 15 pages from the actual book and I'm trying to add it back in. I've been transcribing the missing pages from the actual book. I was doing it in Calibre's edit feature, but since its so much to add, I've been transcribing the missing part on Wordpad and was going to just copy and paste what's missing into the editor when I finished.

My question though, in order to preserve the line breaks and paragraphs, will I need to copy and paste this piecemeal where i want the line breaks by adding the <p class="calibre2"> and </p> for every place I want the line breaks or can I just copy and paste the whole document into the book and hit the Beautify Ebook button to do it more quickly without wasting my time?

Since I discovered this feature, I actually have a ton of ebooks that I need to fix (spelling errors and table of contents mainly) and this would just be helpful that I won't have to waste a lot of time if there is a smarter way to do this.
