debeck: thank you for outlining the steps for working within Calibri from the start --

Just want to confirm something: if I were to bring a the book in as a txt file, it would have NO formatting, right?

Part of the process I went through before importing into Calibri involved moving the text from a writing program to LibreOffice, where I was able to wrap italicized text with <i> tags, replacing -- with mdashes, etc. before bringing it into BBEdit. That way I didn't have to scroll through the whole book adding italics, etc.

I BBEdit I wrapped all the paragraphs in para tags, replaced punctuation marks with named entities, removed extra spaces, etc. and did my styling.

Is there a good search and replace function in Calibri's html editor?
