Hi,

I cleaned a book, using some regex to get rid of a lot of unwanted tags. Ex:

Code:

<span face="Georgia">(.*?)</span>
\1

What was left was text files which kept the former PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR (U+2029). It looked like a ragged display in the code but the book display was unaffected. (see screenshot). I could not clean them directly with the "Beautify" button.

To get rid of them, I just added a new regex which destroyed all of them, including the ones left in the text files, and then launched "Beautify all files" (Embellit tous les fichiers) which reinstates them only in the right places. (screenshot2 - normal code display)

Maybe when performing a regex suppressing tags in the text files, it would be nice if the Calibre editor could check if there are still some unwanted separators left?
