By the way that work will make me also to a (little) expert, for editing EPUBs and Regexes.
Yes, really! Just go to the street and ask some passers-by. I'll bet with you: Until you find someone who knows about, you're half starved and thirsty. Except you live in somewhere like Silicon Valley.
You will think these passers-by are not interested anyway: Yes, the most not. The rest, however, the information acquisition on the Internet will be too inconvenient, to buy a corresponding book too expensive. So much interest does not exist. But the free EPUB for the socalled john (english loo), that's exactly what they need, I guess.

In that case, knowledge of RegEx is a lot wider than you think. But, more importantly, it's a specialised knowledge that I wouldn't expect the "man in the street" to know or need. And there are a lot of excellent resources already available for anyone who needs to learn.

Not so hard! Only 4 times as many letters, about.

That's not the point. Unfortunately, MobileRead suppresses quotes in the repeating citation.

Yes, four times as many letters were needed. And if they had been used, think how many less would have been needed in the answers.
My point was that your original post was unclear and I had to take a guess as to what the problem was.

But they are the things that make the code a lot harder. And unless there is well documented exception, it can't be considered.

And then a new question arises. Punctuation rules are probably different depending on the language. This should be considered, possibly pointed out.

That I have no idea about. Kovid caters for multiple languages where possible. But, it will require that the library in use handles other languages than English. And, as the smarten punctuation tool needs the user to do something, it is entirely up to the user to use it. If it doesn't work for them, they just don't use it.
