Code:
(?smi)(?<=[^[:punct:]])</p>\s*<p[^<>]*>(?=[\.-?])|</p>\s*<p[^<>]*>(?!\s*(<[sbui]>|[[:punct:]\s])+[[:upper:]])(?=[[:punct:]\s]+[[:lower:]])|</p>\s*<p[^<>]*>((?=[ \.>]{2,}([[:punct:]]|[[:lower:]]))|(?=[[:lower:]]))|(?<=,)</p>\s*<p[^<>]*>
Replace with a space character, else it will join the end words. |
any chance of a breakdown / analysis of what that long line is doing please ?
