'[a-z]</p><p class="whatever">[a-z]' finds all those repeats but when I replace with '[a-z] [a-z]' the conversion also removes and replaces every letter before and after the code with the string '[a-z]' which is not what I intended.
I have to include '[a-z] in the search string to find the correct line breaks. If I don't, I'll delete every line break in the book, which imo makes it pretty much unreadable.
Is there a way to include those letters before and after line break in the search string, but to exclude them from substitution?

Put parens around parts of the search string to form groups. Use \# in the replace string to replace with the content of that group.
Search for:
Code:
([a-z])</p><p class="whatever">([a-z])
Replace with:
