Sigil 0.8.7

I mentioned in another thread that I'm cleaning up a public EPUB from another author and commenting out tons of CSS that the reader should handle. One problem is the author (or their editor), changed the background color and line height in the CSS, and I want to use regex to comment them out. I want to change

Code:

line-height: 100%

to

Code:

/* line-height: 100% */

but if the percent is a different number, I want to keep that number. Here's how I did it, it will work with any percent number.

My regex search is: line-height: (\d+)%;?

My regex replace is: /* line-height: \1%; */

'\1' is the place holder for what was found in between (), which was (\d+).
