Hi,

I am trying to convert my book to default ePub format but am having trouble with blank lines. I tried from both Word and HTML but get the same problem.

I don't want blank lines to show between my paragraphs so I am forced to tick the option to remove them, otherwise they seem to get inserted. The problem is that sometimes I do want blank lines. So how do I tell Calibre not to remove them? I tried these (in the HTML version) but they are all ignored:


In the end the only one that worked was to use a paragraph with a space in it:
 

There must be a better way. Am I overlooking an option somewhere to tell it not to remove deliberate blank lines?
