I am not sure, but the publisher submitted books may not have to go through that converter.

Right now I am reading Angels At the Table, by Debbie Macomber, a publisher quality book, and even on my Braille display the blank lines are retained, with nothing at alll on them. I wonder how the publisher got that done. It is a new book, so I am assuming it was an ebook submitted by the publisher, but it is the first book I have noticed where the blank lines between scenes are retained without anything on the line such as asterisks.

Some of the blank lines are immaterial. Blank lines between verses of poems are not. Neither are those in texts which might be quotes or passages from 
other sources.

Hi all,

Folks, the operative words here *should* be what is consistent for the
DAISY converter! You *must* put chapters in larger headings font in order 
for the DAISY converter to know that this is a heading, a DAISY element!
Madeleine's mention of putting chapter titles into 14 point font is really 
confusing.  they must be in 16 point or they will not be recognized as a
DAISY element.

I think this whole issue of the stars is getting everyone all out of
kilter! It all started when we were talking about chapter titles that had 
just single numbers instead of having "chapter" with them. Then, it's
morphed into this whole crazy malarkiface about blank lines. The blank
lines are immaterial!  You don't necessarily need them between chapter
titles and the accompanying text, but what you do need, what you have to
have, in fact, is the chapter titles in larger font!  This is a
prerequisite for making a book into DAISY format. Please, let's not have 
any confusion about chapter heading fonts!

Believe me folks, I've made DAISY books in the past, and these font
changes *must* be made in order for the DAISY converter to select the text 
that indicates a new or different DAISY element!

In posting a response to Madeleine's explanation, along with my
question about do I understand then  that if the chapter title is 16
point Bold and the text is 12  point regular, asterisks aren't
necessary, I forgot to ask what do members prefer? Given that the
space is deleted and the texts are squished together--asterisks or
nothing between chapter title and beginning of body. (Since in this
book I've begun with the asterisks, I 'll c ontinue,but I want to know
for he future. smile
