find replace - does it auto-fix closing tqags ???
was having a frustrating time with find-replace regex last night
- I swear that some times it just sulks and claims to not find any instances of perfectly good expressions, or waits until you re-click the code view window before searching properly -
anyway I gave up building a regex that would alter pairs of opening & closing tags and figured I'd fix them in 2 passes
- so I did something like replace all "<h4" with "<h2", intending to then do replace "</h4" with "</h2> as a 2nd pass - but somehow all of the end pairs had miraculously already fixed themselves
was I seeing things, was this the tidy function helping out, or what ?
if tag pairs can be replaced justt be replacing the opening tag , that would be good to know as the regex building then becomes MUCH simpler!
