I am trying to get some personal documents edited for reading on the Kobo. I am driving myself crazy trying to get it to double-space in between sections. What I want is something that looks like this:

Paragraph 1

***

New paragraph

So in between the two paragraphs, a break with double space all around it, exactly as it looks above. I do this using the WYSIWYG editor and it looks fine. On my iPad in iBooks it looks fine. On the Kobo, it looks like this:

Paragraph 1
***

New Paragraph

I have tried every trick I can think of (given my limited skill) and it just is not coming out ok. My boyfriend is a programmer and he says that the extra <br> code should make it break. But it just isn't. This seems like it should be such a simple thing to do and since it looks fine on the iPad I am wondering what gives. What can I do to fix this so it looks ok on the Kobo? I have several more files to fix and want them all looking the same.
