Many thanks to all who responded, and I apologise again for the poor wording of my original post. Please find attached an early and unfinished version of the ebook I am trying to do. The HTML file Chapter02.html which makes up the story contains about a quarter of the original book. On my Sony and Kobo readers it breaks at
he is one of the kings of fashion in Paris.'</p>
<p>'But a wife changes everything
so that there is quite a bit of white space between the end of one paragraph and the start of the next paragraph. That is the problem I am fussing about, and want to know how to fix.
This material from an earlier post may be a solution,
<itemref idref="calibre_jacket"/>
<itemref idref="a02-title"/>
<itemref idref="a03-copyright"/>
<itemref idref="a04-toc"/>
<itemref idref="a05-acknowledgments"/>
<itemref idref="a06-foreword"/>
<itemref idref="a07-writersroom"/>
<itemref idref="a08-planning"/>
<itemref idref="a09-finding"/>
<itemref idref="a10-theme"/>
and I'll certainly try to find out what it means. I've never seen anything like that before; can anyone point me to where itemref and idref are discussed? I've never seen or used them before.
