You could

but Why?
in the CSS just set
p { your style stuff here}

Then think 'Exception' to the standard 'p' for those special cases

those get a p class=

[larysa]

I use ocr software to convert my scan page into text page, after import text into calibre.
But on each paragraph i have to add my p class at the beginning and /p at the end...
For each paragraph!! I want add this with one rule....

You don't need to add <p class="someclassname">. For most paragraphs, just use <p> and in css, something like this...

p {
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
text-indent: 1.2em;
}

You just change p as you want and you won't need a class for most p.

You don't understand my problem...
I have css, but i copy and paste from ocr software into calibre...the text is flatten, without nothing, only simple text. I must add pclass at beginning and /p at the end for each paragraph....I want one rule for this!

What formats can the OCR export to? If it will export to HTML or Word, use that. Then add it to calibre and do a conversion. Other formats can be used successfully, but avoid PDF if you can.

You shouldn't be copying and pasting into the Calibre editor. If your OCR software exports as text, load the text file into Calibre, and then use Calibre to convert the text to HTML. That will add the tags for you. Then edit the HTML/CSS to tidy it up.

sorry, but You don't seem to understand HTML/CSS

You don't NEED "class= " for HTML tags. None of the responses are wrong, just different. But they all have 1 thing in common K.I.S.S.

For years, Baen (you've heard of them?) shipped ebooks with 3 tiny CSS
1 of those was even blank (the conversion scripts required it to be included. so it was empty rather than break other stuff)

Here is the BASE CSS I use all the time. 2 entriers (for simple TXT files that I import)

I sometimes add a Chapter Number (CN) treatment, Opening Paragraph treatment (FP)

When you import your text, does it NOT have any <p> and </p> tags around each block of text?

[larysa]

@ phossler
Yes, when import text I don't have any tag (I copy from ocr on clipboard and paste into calibre...if save html from ocr when import I have various ( much more) different tag...then I copy only with right click and paste into calibre, clean of any tag)
I want save my clipboard on txt file, then import to calibre and have for each paragraph only one tag (the same) for each paragraph. Then with find function i replace this tag whit my tag pclass=body....

As I said earlier, larysa, this is not a good approach. It would be much better to add your text file into Calibre, and then use Calibre to convert the text to HTML.

[larysa]

Ok then i save my document as txt file (without any tag) and then add this txt into calibre (and him add tag). Ok this solved my question...but how to calibre import txt file ???

[HarryT]

The same way you'd import any other book into your Calibre library. Either use the "Add Book" menu item in Calibre, or just drag and drop the file onto the Calibre window.

[larysa]

Ok tonight I try! Thanks for your support!

[larysa]

Ok work. But when i save txt file and after import into calibre, more character are modify: è with ė, á with ä and this for each vocal with accent...also ' isn't recognized...the easy way would be copy and past into a blank page of calibre ebook and insert tag at the beginning and at the end to all paragraphs...!!
