Let me start by saying that the Calibre editor (and Calibre in general) is absolutely brilliant. But of course I have a few niggles, and I wonder if anyone can help me solve them...

1) Many books have each para as a single physical line in the XHTML file, so when you do "Replace All" and it says "see what changed", the line that changed is wrapped into several windows worth of text on a pale blue background. The actual changes are shown in a slightly darker blue that is very hard for me to spot. Is there a way to change the colour scheme to make the contrast between chenged and unchanged text more visible? Also is there a way to skip along the line (down several window pages) to the next actual change?

2) Is there any way to change the case of text (to upper, to lower, capitalised)? At the moment I copy the text I want to change, paste it into another editor, change the case and copy it back again... but this is a bit tedious. Can I use expressions like "tolower(\1)" or some such in an RE in the Replace field? Or is there another way to do this that I've missed?

3) I asked this in another thread, but how can I change the template for the "inline ToC" to use my own preferred CSS styles? By default, the ToC <head> has a style of "padding-left: 2em" for <li> elements, but I prefer zero padding...
