Reduce paragraph breaks from 3 lines to 1.
I have a 2300 chapter book.

Between every paragraph there are 3 lines breaks.

Can I reduce these en-masse to 1 line?

It will depend on how the extra lines are added. If it is done in the stylesheet, then changing the style for the paragraph should be all that is needed. Or you could use a do a conversion and choose the options to not put space between paragraphs.

But, if it is done in the HTML code, then you will need to edit it and strip out the extra code.

To help more that that, we probably need to see a sample of the book code. That would let us see what is causing the extra spacing.

More than I thought there would be. But, my bet would be a Light Novel or a compilation of several in a series. But, we have had plenty of questions about books of that size. And it is unimportant except to give some idea of the size of the problem.
