Currently I use multiple fragile regex's, and hope I don't stuff it up...


Your thoughts?
Glad you like the plugin. But I'm afraid any attempt to automate such a process is going to leave one "hoping they didn't stuff it up."

First and foremost, I create tools that I need/want for my own use; and happily share them with others who may be looking for similar tools. But I'm afraid I long ago grew tired of trying to "fix" ebook code that was so bad its paragraphs weren't clearly delineated. Now I just discard that sort of soup and look (or wait) for something better with which to start. I still like to spend more time reading ebooks than I do working on them, after all.

I think calibre's line unwrapping feature (part of its conversion options) does as admirable a job as any at this sort of thing, but there's always going to be some guessing and hoping (and proofing and reproofing) going on.
