It seems that at least some point in time ReaderWorks from Overdrive used as their paragraph markup. Every book I have produced with this tool has this markup and fails to format properly when converted to epub. Could you add a toggle to treat as a if requested?

Requests for no paragraph padding (--remove-paragraph-spacing) are ignored. You said it was because the html used to indicate a paragraph rather than

yeah a tag means line break, so the "paragraphs" in these books are not really paragraphs. You can always run lit2oeb + a sed script on these files to replace the with a proper paragraph break

That's what I do now. Fine for me, not so much for others. Whatever, I'm sure it will come up again and I wanted to let you know.

Simple really: use a text editor, load your source file, do a search and repair replacing your br tabs with tabs. Nothing magical about that. Then save and off you go. I create all my html file per notetab ++ and that is the easiest to edit large files really fast.

Yeah but if a user is good enough to open up the lit file and find that br,br is causing the problem and care that there are blank lines between paragraphs, then most likely the suer will be able to fix it manually
