Hey, don't sweat it . You're doing a great job!

Here is the documentation for the QRegExp class used internally in Sigil. It documents these engines quite nicely.
Hey thanks, that'll sure be helpful!
An important note I spotted (for those wanting to dabble in regexp search, too), is that DOTALL is always true:
Code:
Matches any character (including newline).
To get the normal dot-behaviour use
Code:
[^\r\n]
instead of '.'.

I can see a <div> ending with the last chapter. Maybe it has some different styles applied? Have you also looked at how does the original calibre-produced epub look like in ADE?

This is probably related to the specific CSS styles you have in the document.
Sharp eye, there! I don't have ADE but I tried Calibre's viewer and indeed there the text suddenly enlarges too. After removing the </div> (and it's opening <div>) the problem was solved. Sorry for having accused you for it!

It's quite probably related to a bug I fixed a few days ago. The fix will be in 0.1.6, which will be out soon.
Great!

Thanks for the hint! I'll look at the docs! Luckily, this expression isn't depending on it.. just a leftover from trying to find the right one.

Thanks, yet again. Haven't got to the point of trying to replace yet, but you're saving me a headache there .

I'm confident I'll get trough my first book quite satisfactory!
