I will assume you have 'broken lines' (The sentence is in multiple pieces)
Unwrap factor should get smaller .4 is a good starting point
If there are MARGINS between whole paragraphs, then the style needs to be adjusted
And the horrible 'empty Paragraph' (because someone did not know about top/bottom margins. If this book is as messed. Ask for your money back. There are just to many folk calling themselves e-book formatters that have no clue to the basics |
Yes, I tried different unwrap factors; 0.4, 0.01, 0.99, 0.0, and 1.0 but no cigar.
I should have done this before I posted my query; I looked at the AZW3 file in the calibre editor. Lines have p tags around them, so it's turning each line into a paragraph. I downloaded the file again and now it's randomly adding p tags after words (i.e., random chunks of text are p wrapped), not every line. And it's only doing it for CHAPTER IV
HEPWORTH. If I look at the EPUB files, chapter 4 is the one whose name ends with e_split_009.html. Even stranger is that the previous chapter's (_008.html) initial html looks the same as this one's; it includes the same css files and uses the same css classes, pindent, etc. in the EPUB file that is. In the AZW3 file there are p class="lgl" tags. So apparently something is triggering these other p tags.

If I download and use the one from here, it converts nicely:
