Do you mean the case when there are no line ends between <p> and </p>, as in some kind of "pretty print" tidy (i.e. editing the code view, only), or something else?

Long ago, before Sigil, I learned the hard way not to trust the stand-alone "htmltidy" to fix my .html files, except for certain controlled circumstances. Therefore, in Sigil, even though tidy has been extensively re-coded, I still only use "pretty print tidy" for readability in code view. Like you, I still prefer to fix by hand. Software has been, in my experience, singularly unable to understand what I intended. I don't trust it to fix my code, but pointing to errors is (usually) useful.
