The instructions for using the plugin are in the attached file named ePub tidy tool v0.2.0.0.5A.epub.
Important: Please ensure that you keep a back up of your original ePub file before running this plugin.
When some old publications are OCR'd some words are frequently misspelt in the same way in every scan. I am attaching a file that can be used with the plugin to correct the spelling of these words. It is based on a file provided by martyger at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=265830 and includes updates form Steadyhands at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...&postcount=154
Gipsy has put files containing Greek words for this plugin in this thread at:

Hello!
First, enormous thanks for implementing a functionality I was wishing for (I overlooked the plugin for a time through associating ePubTidy with HTMLTidy
)
Now. I have a have hit a snag on running the plugin: on the list of

proposed changes--remove hyphen

I found , i.e.:
cow-puncher --> cowpuncher
to-day --> today
But, looking in wikidictionary, both the words on the right have entries, the first as 'alternate spelling', the second as 'old form of' (the book is from the 1910's).
Thus being the case, I discarded the changes--which discards also everything else.
Would it be possible to either
-- make the hyphen changes optional
-- or allow for a 'custom exception list' of hyphens to keep?
I may mention that on editing OCR files without images of the original text, I use to deal with cases as above, by mimicking Kovid's heuristics: count occurences of with/without hyphen...
Thanks again for the plugin!
