In a bid to help further, can you post what the "calibrex" style is in the .css files within your result .epub. Or just upload your problematic .epub here and I'll see for myself what specific interference cailbre is enacting with that class="calibrex".

Now if you want to make your .epub using the comman line 'ebook-convert' (like I do), then you can use your underlying .html code (with my suggestions above) to make your .epub.
Thank you, Nick, that's very kind.

If you download my ePub version of "The Barchester Chronicles" from:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53280

and go to chapter IV in the first book (the chapter called "Hiram's Bedesmen"), a couple of pages into the chapter you'll see a list of names, separated by blank lines. That version uses blank "<div>s" and displays the blank lines correctly.

Compare that with the version I've attached to this message. It has "<br>s" for blank lines, and ADE (and the Opus) simply omit the blank lines.

In both cases, the source for that chapter is the "_split_7" file in the ePub.
