I have an epub with huge gaps between paragraphs. Every paragraph begins with <p class="s10"> or some other number.
In Calibre I used its find and replace in all text files function to make every paragraph start with just <p> They all already end in </p>
After saving, I opened it in Sigil and there it shows the text with no space between paragraphs. But when I open that same edited file in Edge or in Calibre's editor - and when converted to AZW3 it's like I did nothing to the book, exactly the same gaps of 4 or so lines that are more than a single text line high. How can epub reading software and Calibre still be applying classes to the paragraphs when I've changed them all to plain paragraph tags?
Is this something that needs fixed in the css? I'd rather not have any font or size specified. Here's the content of stylesheet.css
Code:
