If you can prove that the extra files cause a problem, I will look into making it optional. One option now is to not use the Anthology feature in FFF and instead download individual stories and then manually use EpubMerge with 'Keep UnMerge Data' turned off.

Re: Stripping tags: Removing whitespace only containing tags that aren't 'p','td','th' is functioning as designed. If you want, you adjust the value of keep_empty_tags to add more tags to keep when empty.

I'm going to need to see an example of actual text being removed accidentally before I can troubleshoot that. Plus, you have replace_br_with_p set true, which introduces a bunch of heuristic tag editing. I would guess that you found an example of poor input HTML being handled badly.

Thank you kindly, Jim! This reply helps a lot actually.

My main issue was that there might have been something I was doing wrong or overlooking the obvious or something. I have a long history of doing just so especially with fanficfare, so this time I thought I'd head it off at the beginning.

I don't have a link to a story with the text removal at the moment (it was months ago and I don't remember now which story it was), but I'll report it if it happens again, thank you.

And yeah, in the cases I mentioned, with the spaces enclosed in tags, it was mainly due to bad uploading on the part of the authors in question, so there is that to consider as well, you're right.
