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? |
Calibre editor has REGEX S&R
But...
Look at the writer2EPUB plugin for OO/LO It works pretty good
