I think you're right

I used ABC Amber Lit to convert to HTML and the book is formatted thus:

 
In the world of Deathlands
 
 There were, of course, survivors…
 

However...I also converted another of my LIT books which converted well to epub via calibre, to html, and the page was formatted the same way, same CSS, same tags. Odd, can this be explained? (I checked some more of my LIT files and they all follow this tag format?!?)

In my experience a p tag is a paragraph tag, and I would expect to see more text inbetween these tags than a line, also p tags create space before and after themselves.

And soooo, on the face of things, I need to strip most of the tags out, and delete the tags. Is that right?

I'm so confused, I cant get my head around what the difference is between all of my LIT files that stops some from being converted correctly.
