Yep, a single tag doesn't add a space in the Kobo details pane, double tags are needed - Kobo seems to be unique in that respect. The only way around the double line tag problem has been to copy the comments html text, paste into notepad, find/replace tags with and repaste into the comments section. I wind up with tags at the start of the page, but that's not really an issue I can't live with. Previously, selecting the all the text with control-a and bolding it would only add the tags, now Win 10 converts them all to and adds the space between lines. It's a stylistic nightmare.

The extra spacing you are seeing has nothing to do with the style being added to the paragaraph tag. Is it caused by the stylesheet being used when the HTML is rendered and displayed. Plus, what happens with any embedded new line character.

I'm assuming KOBOTOUCH would work for a Glo? Which I'm assuming is just a fancy Touch as mine looks like the old Touch except for the light switch.

The KoboTouch driver is for all Kobo devices released since the Touch. That includes the Glo.

Many thanks from me too, Davidfor. The same issue has bugged me since the calibre version 4 was released (I don't use any plugboard with my Kobo, although I do use them with my Kindles for embedding series info).
