Rand Brittain · 11-10-2010, 08:21 AM

I'm looking at a Project Gutenberg text that's used capital letters to stand in for italics, and I'd like to change it to display those italics instead. Is there a way to use regular expressions to change all words in all-caps to lower-case and slap a <i></i> tag around them? (I guess I'd have to remove it from every use of "I", but that's a simple find-replace.)
