Including the NEXT character in a backspace-delete is often a safe way of ensuring you've covered everything.

One of the unintended consequences of Calibre: people charging thousands of dollars to run a damn PDF through it to produce an ePUB, and not knowing one bloody thing about why the results are a damn abortion. I'm so angry about this guy I can't talk rationally about it, and what's to be done? Hitch |

If the ePub doesn't actually use any you could just work in BV, using the spacebar as normal and when done, just search/replace all the to a space.

Total between the two? Nearly $6,000.00. SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS. My charge to fix his ePUB, and make a working mobi? $125, because I couldn't bring myself to charge him the time it would really take to fix it. And, no, I'm not a sucker, but I know this guy, and this was a rotten thing for someone to do to him. Nicest guy on the planet. Was he a sucker? Maybe, but just because someone isn't sophisticated is no reason to rip them off. H |

My answer didn't come out right, either. I wasn't referring to your usage of the term...I just meant that I don't normally give away our services, but this poor guy; I just couldn't bear to charge him more. He gave me permission to post his ePUB anywhere, if it would save others from being ripped off by those two, but I can't stand to embarrass him further than he's already been embarrassed. I thought I might mention these two at Preditors and Editors and some of the other places, like AW Water Cooler, etc. I imagine it will take him a very, very long time to recoup that. Hitch |
