On the topic of Saved Searches I'd love to see in Sigil or in a Sigil plugin something that would not rely on a static list of entries. I sometimes find myself working with an ebook that let's say has 100s of <i
class="xx">...</i> but I cannot expect to know beforehand the contents.
I want to search and replace for the appropiate <i>, <em> or <cite> tags and even add the lang/xml:lang when needed so I cannot really use Search&Replace because every
2 matches I need to switch the replace pattern.
What I would like is something like the spellchecker window where you would enter a tag pattern to search for (i.ex: <i
class="xx">) and it will return an orderable, alphabetically and/or by frequency, list of all the text found inside this tag:
Code:
Text Number of times Replace tag Language code
Origin of Species 24 cite en
alea 14 i -
Der Weiss Kunig 10 cite de
¡basta! 2 em -
The idea is that in one swoop you would replace all the bland <i>/<em> or whatever styles for ones that are correct in language and semantics.
Once you have selected the changes Sigil would run all the list of Search and Replaces.
