Hello there, this is my first post. I'm writing from Italy and here is my problem with Sigil x Windows (a good app anyway).
Is there anyone of help to solve this issue?
When I copy into Sigil some text (from Wikipedia for example) there are notes such as [1], [2] etc. Then I try to eliminate them fully with the function regex but the square brackets won't go away. I've tried different options but couldn't find the right way. For example I've typed [0-9]+ and only the numbers are deleted then I have to go to normal search/replace and I can delete first the close square bracket ] and then the open one[.
Can anyone

Thanks a million!
