Thanks! No more issues with alt=""...
Now, I have another suggestion about hypens: in some books one finds several instances of words spelled out (maybe for added emphasis) like "r-a-t-s", or stuttered, like "p-p-please".
The Plugin will check "r-a-t-s"

Code:

HyphenRemoved=m.group(1)+m.group(2)

find "at" in Hunspell english dictionary, and return r-at-s, unless "a-t" in KeepHyphens.txt.
Now, I never found an instance of a publication with a hyphen either after or before a single letter, like w-ord or wor-d--where it grammatically sound, which I doubt, there seems to be some styling rule against it.
Thus, my suggestion: is it possble to check those m.group() for number of characters, and keep the hyphen if either is a single char?
I don't know python, is it difficult to do?
However, it makes sense to me--and, by the way, it would take care of the "I-I" special case...
Thanks again!
