so is it that no software is right or wrong - it's all grey area interpretation ?

is sigil "right" to create an unpaired <br /> tag when you press enter in book mode ? any mileage in calling that a bug / request a different treatment via future enhancements ?

the ability to insert line space in book view is IMHO, a needed feature.
Many free book sources e.g. William Gibson sprawl trilogy - which is free online in HTML - have had all soft break / scene break code stripped and so to improve an ebook/epub version & make it like the printed copy there is a frequent need to insert blank lines when proofing.

The "obvious" way to do that quickly is to scan the text in book view, with a purchased or library paper book copy in one hand, & hit enter whenever a soft break needs adding.;but because of the <br> issues above, it is clearly not the "best" way.

I only realised that this simple fix was not working, for Sony reader, after fixing up 2 entire books that way !
