--- Comment #7 from Luke Kendall <l...@zeta.org.au> ---
With the exception of your note about the two spaces (an odd new myth, see
https://toeinthebookocean.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/punctuation-one-space-or-two-sir.html
or http://www.heracliteanriver.com/?p=324), I can see the sense in everything
you say, and once again your advice is and will be enormously helpful.
For the time-consuming step of replacing all the italics, I'm going to try to
do a find+replace to insert a marker, e.g. {{{ at the start of a span of
italics and a }}} at the end of the span, and then directly edit the
contents.xml afterwards to replace that with the correct markup for italics. I
will have to directly edit the contents.xml to insert them. From memory, LO
doesn't provide a way to reliably find a character style. (Yes: I just
re-tested: it's badly broken: it doesn't find some italics, and it identifies
some spans of regular text as italic.)
I just want to say thank you again for looking further into this: I will
definitely do as you suggest. You've been enormously helpful.
Yes, I'm happy for you to close this as Resolved.
NOTE
One last thing that may be of interest: because the one thing that still
puzzled me was why the old file was okay and the new one not, this morning it
occurred to me to take a copy of the old file, delete all the chapters, and
paste back in all the chapters from the new version.
Interestingly, it basically fixed the problem: with a few exceptions (apart
from the pages with a chapter heading), 99% of the pages are formatted as they
used to be, no longer leaving a blank line at the bottom of the page.
But I still plan to go ahead and follow all your suggestions to produce a clean
document with sensible page styles, and just those I need, well-named.
Continuing to work from a mixed-up document that may "explode" on me at any
time would be foolish!
