G'day,

I've trolled through the forum and looked elsewhere for the the magic switch that will allow me to collect the text between, say for example, <head> and </head>. I can get the regex to collect when all is on one line but, according to my searching, I need to tell Sigil to allow the dot to collect the newlines as well. How do I do that?

I am using <head>(.*?)</head> to do the finding and the collection.
