Let me see if I can explain what I'm trying to accomplish...

When converting ePub to ePub for my custom font CSS, I select the option to "remove spacing between paragraphs", as I like the way I can now see more words per page turn (and the look in general). Oftentimes, books have sections within chapters which are generally separated by more than a single blank line, e.g., when the story jumps from one time-frame to another. When selecting "remove spacing between paragraphs", the double/triple spaces are removed too. I can usually re-orient myself by the context of the story, but it would be easier if that "section" had a blank line separating it from the previous section. (There is probably a proper name for "section", so please excuse my ignorance) Is there a way to set Calibre to retain the spacing between sections, and still remove the default spacing between paragraphs? I am semi-familiar with Sigil, but I'm grasping for automatic! It's asking a lot I know, but I've gotten pretty spoiled by this wonderful program.
