[bksvol-discuss] eliminating line breaks

It is what either submitter or validator needs to do. Depending on my mood,
since I read while I validate I either delete each line break manually or
blacken the paragraph, being careful to leave the break at the end of the
paragraph, and replace with a space, so two words don't run together. Sometimes
this leaves two spaces between words instead of one, but then generally, at
the end, replace two spaces with one; does the bookshare conversion do that
automatically, perhaps?
I've discovered, however, that with the first paragraph (each time one comes
back to the file) one has to eliminate the lines spaces by using just
"replace," not "replace all," or it makes the whole document one paragraph--and
unfortunately a couple of times I validated books where that apparently had
been done. After the first paragraph is done, "replace all" will work with each
new paragraph and you're safe as long as you don't hit continue or whatever.
