Bug Description

When I create an e-book (kindle) file, I like to keep the same formatting as the original printed book. When I convert a Microsoft Word RTF file using Calibre, the program ALWAYS indents the first line of a chapter. Some printed books do NOT indent the first line of the chapter, thus changing the look/feel of the original printed book. Please put an option in caliber to keep the formatting of the original input file.

I am using Calibre version 2.82
I am using Windows 10

calibre does preserve the formatting of input files, note that RTF has
no paragrpah line indent formatting. You want to convert rich text
documents, save them as docx files instead of rtf, you will get much
better results. And if you want to ensure all paragraphs have no leading
indent, simply addd

p { text-indent: 0 !important }

to the extra css setting in the conversion dialog.
