I am almost completed adding a series of new features to the next update, and I have begun looking into search and replace. After brainstorming for a little while, I discovered that without examples to test it on, it will be very hard to make a good search and replace with specific tools oriented on page-break-lines, page numbers, footers and headers. So, if you can provide me with a sample containing some of what you are looking to remove, and some surrounding context, I will try to work out an approach. (Same for @Under the Covers, I did respond earlier, but got no sample.)

@davidfor
Thanks for pointing out the issue. I actually wanted to fix this, but I ran into two 'unknowns' that I haven't had the time to google and research:
  1. How do I discover the resolution of the current user's screen, and then force the plugin to fit to it?
  2. How do I add a 'full screen' button in the upper right corner, as most window's have (this would force it to fit, I imagine)?
So, if you have an answer, I can add it to the next update.

@Kovid, anyone
I am continuing to try to use webkit with contenteditable. But webkit manages to produce some horribly twisted and convoluded markup when pressing the enter key and splitting an element or when deleteing larger amounts of text/across elements. For the life of me I don't know what the designers were attempting to accomplish. All the same, is there a way to work around this, either options to set or some basic javascript to catch the event and reimplement it?

(Edit: while searching for solutions, I came across a great line: 'WYSIWYG Editors should be for the most part called WYDSIAGDM (What You Don’t See Is A Gosh Darn Mess)')
