The files wasn't too long, so I did it manually (about 20-25 occurrences). For future reference, is there a built-in way to remove the html formatting (<i ...>xxxx</i> or similar tags) while preserving the text? Ex. Here is some italicized text that I want to invert . Or is it something I need a regular expression for? The Metadata editor has a function to remove HTML formatting, so am I just overlooking it in the Epub editor?
Thanks to anyone who can provide some help!

Ctrl-F (find): replace the text you want to keep with
(.+?)
set replace to
\1
Set the mode to REGEX: (current file if you don't want Global)
reset the cursor to The top: the click f
ind is it a correct find
click replace. Preview if needed is the replace good:
Repeat: find: replace and find:
