Well, the line-breaks should be terminated (<br/>) as epub files are xhtml. Maybe that's your issue - just replace them all with terminated tags, which should also be compatible with html. Also, if there's no text in a block after a <br/> then the break will be ignored, so if you want to insert an extra line after a paragraph you need to do something like
Code:
<p>text text text<br /> </p>
In general, I prefer to mark up extra line-breaks using css instead, which also allows you to set the following paragraph flush, such as:
Code:
css -
.normal_paragraph {
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
text-indent: 1em;
}
.space_above {
margin-top: 1.2em;
margin-bottom: 0;
text-indent: 0;
}
body -
<p class="normal_paragraph">preceding section text</p>
<p class="space_above">New paragraph with one blank line above</p>
This is generally more robust and flexible than using <br/> tags.
