paragraph attributes not being exported

[oberon567]

In order to make other formatting issues work I have to create numerous <p>s one after another, but in order to give them the appearance of simple line breaks they are formatted with a margin of 0. So the onscreen display looks like line breaks, or <br>, even though the html is technically a <p>. However when using Read Offline to export PDF files and ePubs (did not check other types) the attribute of margin: 0; is gone, and every single line has a large space after it.

What needs to change to ensure that the proper <p> characteristics are exported to the pdf/epub files?

I have a class defined on my style sheet (.verse) and that includes the formatting, font choice, and margin, etc. In my text box html I simple have <p class="verse"> .
