Result: Issues showed above vanished, but instead, there are many, many punctuation marks of any kind (.,.,;,!, even quotation marks) that don't rest immediately after the last word of a line, but stand alone in the new line. Very ugly!
Removed the book, either from device as from bibliotheque. Fetched and converted the book again, now without using the Hyphenate-This!-Plugin.
Result: The same!
My God! What is this? Until now, I considered the basic driver as 'asset of the last resort' (please don't mind!) in the case that the Extended driver wouldn't work properly. But this time, the Extended works more consistent. Nevertheless, my impression is that's me who did something wrong.  |
As it's no longer the question of regex, I would prefer to report my experiences here, and no longer in the Sigil thread, where the point has been opended:
I formatted the book in question completely new and applied it then to the standard driver, and afterwards, to the extended driver. the problem seems indeed to have been the book itself, as both drivers now worked it out like a charm - no problems at all!
I added table formattings - no problem with both!
Then even dropcaps: no problem with the standard driver. The extended driver accepted (shows) them as well, but as soon as those dropcaps were added, the bookmark function of the extended driver would not work any more - don't see why.
At this opportunity I noticed that, switching on the "silently ignore .." option which would convert the book as epub, doesn't have in consequence to adopt the bookmark function as it works with the standard driver.
I'm not complaining, only reporting - I can easily live without dropcaps. But it's interesting to see that both drivers have their respective advantages so that they can be selected following the individual preferences. Great!
Only one question: the standard driver changes the page counting not at every page turn, but only after each second page turn. So, for example, page 256 remains and will only change into 257 after having read two "real" pages. Is there a way to control this?
