Editing a Terry Pratchett book to have better spacing
I don't know if any of you have read Discworld. But the books don't have chapters, nor do they have any indications that you've switch scenes in them. At least the ones that I have. I would like to make the spaces between the settings bigger. I'm not sure if I can do this with Calibre or not. Also. I'm not sure if I'm making very much sense. But thanks for trying to understand me: [] = my notes, not in the actual book**
[One scene] “You shut up, you horrible man,” said Detritus, drunk with power. You could have heard a guillotine drop. In the crowd, a number of different-sized knobbly hands gripped a variety of concealed weapons. Everyone looked at Carrot. That was the strange thing, Colon remembered later. Everyone looked at Carrot. [And change of scene] Gaspode sniffed a lamppost. “I see Three-legged Shep has been ill again,” he said. “And old Willy the Pup is back in town.” The XHTML file looks like this: <p class="para">That was the strange thing, Colon remembered later. Everyone looked at Carrot.</p> <p class="spaceBreak"> </p> <p class="chapterOpenerText">Gaspode sniffed a lamppost.</p> Can I do something where the "space break" can be more like "***" or something, just so I have some indication that it's a change of setting? Thanks in advance, hope this makes sense. |

Just use a find and replace:
Find: Code:
<p class="spaceBreak"> </p> Code:
<p class="spaceBreak">* * *</p> |
