But look back at my original suggestion. It was to replace <br> with
</p><p>. i.e. insert a CLOSING tag followed by a new opening tag.

so

<p> text <br>
more text </p>
<p> still more text <br>
even more text </p>

would become

<p> text </p><p>
more text </p>
<p> still more text </p><p>
even more text </p>

And FP would probably rearrange that to:

<p> text </p>
<p> more text </p>
<p> still more text </p>
<p> even more text </p>
