I'll have to... (in the end...)
I'll do it ASAP.
Nevertheless one hint: I mounted my attached exception file from your example (downloaded from the initial post). And when I opened it (Windows Notepad), all the words were in the very same line with some kind of non-printable character between them. So I immediately thought about the UNIX-Windows CR/LF (or whatever) conflict and retyped those "return key" symbols in their place. So my file should be a pure genuine windows friendly one. Could it be the source of the trouble?
EDIT:
I've downloaded your books and ALSO my exceptions file (just in case). If I run the routine I get it wrong:
Code:
<p>Bob said; “This is an example of quoted speech that ’specially goes on longer than one paragraph.</p>
<p>“Then it resumes in the next paragraph where the I said; ’give ’em hell, Harry!’ and then it concludes.”</p>
<p>“Then it resumes in the ’80s and the ’90s—”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>---’I hope it works to … everyone’s satisfaction.’</p>
<p>‘’Tis is a dialogue’ John said.</p>
<p>‘’Whatever’’ is not a dialogue.</p>
Look at "give", "I" and "Whatever"...
(Using Editor comparison tool, those are the only differences with your _after.epub book).
