get rid of blank line html code
Is there a way to have calibre filter out, or simply not create, blank line code such as
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="calibre1"> </span></p> The remove blank lines option is checked. I've used the replace function in Sigil to do it, but Sigil always deletes my TOC info when I save the file. Converting the file again in Calibre from epub to epub after saving with Sigil doesn't bring back the TOC for some reason either. I know I could edit each file in the epub, but I'm trying not to have to change 30 or so files. Any help would be appreciated. |

That blank line is coming from the input file. If the blanks lines in the input file have a particular tag structure you can use extra css to remove them like this
p.MsoNormal {display:none} This will of course remove all paragraphs that have class MsoNormal, which is why you need the extra structure |

Sorry, I don't quite understand. I get the tag.class part of the line, but how do I get more specific in the removal. All of the paragraphs are msonormal class. Here's an example of one of the problem files.
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="calibre1"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="calibre1">"That's the story," she said, finishing her tale.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="calibre1"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="calibre1">"Well done. Conclusion."</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="calibre1"> </span></p> |

Look at the input file not the calibre generated HTML. There is a brief description of how to look at the html from the input file in the conversion section of the calibre user manual
