is there a quick way to do this without having to go to stylesheet & define a new class ?
every book I inspected has same tags for 1st line of chapter as for rest of chapter text.
as I was advised in another thread I can locate them with regex, by looking for the preceeding closing h2 tag - but is there anything I can to in a regex replace that will overwrite the default indent also
I tried to guess solutions e.g. byb adding text-indent directly afdter the class, but I get syntax errors.
I begin to think it's a lot of work to edit books for this one small visual change but if there is a slicker way....
so I can find
end of chapter title </h2> space <p class = whatever.>... start of 1st line
i want to to replace / edit the p class bit because my p has a default indent, and I want to overrule it just for this line.
can it be done ?
updates - this removes the initial indent, but can I combine it with the class = bit somehow
find (regex)
</h2>\s*<p class="calibre9"
replace
</h2> <p style "text-indent: 0"
otherwise it loses other attributes of the calibre9 class
something else untoward is happening with the above code
sigil is extracting that change & creating a new class definition
p.sgc-1 {text-indent:}
but it is losing the trailing zero in doing so & thus not working as intended. I can't figure out why it's losing that last zero - AHA - it cannot cope with embedded spaces - this replace is OK </h2> <p style "text-indent:0"
