But it's a complete mess when it comes with more "elaborated" ones (some bold text, many paragraphs etc) like this one :
https://www.kobo.com/fr/fr/ebook/un-...rt-que-la-peur

So I tried to know why the plugin gave me extra line breaks yesterday and not today and it has something to do with the Caliber version I use. Because I went from 3.41.3 to 3.42.0 this morning.


So I started fresh with a new Caliber 3.41.3 installation, deleting calibre folders, cache, libraries. Just Caliber 3.41.3 and the Kobo Books plugin. I didn't mess with any other option (just disabling the other metadata sources obviously). Then I added my previous ebook (https://www.kobo.com/fr/fr/ebook/un-...rt-que-la-peur) and here is the result : https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...373/3.41.3.png

As you can see, the "Normal view" gives me something very close to the kobo.com synopsis. But once I put it in my Kobo, it somehow breaks (red parts on my pic).


Then I did the same process again but this time with Caliber 3.42.0 + Kobo Books.
New result : https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...122/3.42.0.png
This time, yay no line breaks but the "Normal view" and Kobo one is far different from the kobo.com website (and I just realize that my screens are all in french, I hope it doesn't bother you too much!).


I hope it helps a bit to see more clear.
This is due to a change in calibre in some code the plugin uses to clean the HTML. It is used in a few places, so I am surprised it hasn't broken them as well. I have attached a beta that doesn't use this. It works better for your example above. Not sure if it will cause other problems.
