That's totally understandable! I also use CSS for my personal reading device that I wouldn't if the ebook was for general use.


For anyone else who may be reading this -

A simple way to replace all those empty paragraphs is to use a find/replace:

find: <p class="CLASSNAME"><br/></p>\s*<p>
replace: <p class="SecBrk">

<p> = whatever tag follows the empty paragraph
\s* = any empty space between the tags

Make sure it is correct and then click "replace all" (assuming you have 'all HTML files' and regex selected)... All done in just a few seconds!
