And that's a general recommendation, nothing to do with HTML, or ePub, I make the same recommendation if the document is to end up as ink on paper. A word processor (Writer, Word, Wordperfect etc) should not be treated like a glorified typewriter

Generally, I agree. I have a thousand pages of text here, and this applies to 2 of them. It is a unique situation (separating review comments), as I tried to describe. For example
##########
"A wonderful read!"
-- Julian Asskick

"Complete tripe!"
-- Katerina Asskick (wife of Julian)

"Oh, for God's sake, you two -- get a room!"
-- (Name withheld) Asskick (child of Julian & Katerina)
##########

The natural action is simply to leave an extra para between each review comment. One could certainly create two styles -- ReviewComments and NameOfReviewer, the second with defined points after, but it is counter-intuitive.

I wanted to learn about the converter so as to adjust to it. As it happens, this problem went away when I put all of the review text in a column. So this thread is now closed as far as I am concerned.
