Thank you both, BetterRed and Tex2002ans! The text is in german. And yes, I also find that Toxaris' tool is excellent for this task, but the book has come as epub already; I have to do some modifications (transform in modern spelling and so on). Only that there are quite a lot of mistakes of the reported sort that I wished to mend.
I'll have a look to the recommended threads.
Fyi: In older german books, you'll frequently find the same way of formatting direct speech across multiple paragraghs, i. e. beginning with an opening quote at each paragraph, but ending with the closing one only at the end of the direct speech. This is no longer the case in modern books. the book I'm working on shows this as well, and I changed this. This is not the problem. There are some erroneously missing quotes.
