Perhaps this may help you on your way.
Recently had to find missing first " of a pair. Finally came up with this:
Find strings with a missing first quote
... calibre3">((?:\\"|[^"])*")</p>
^^^^^--------tags ------^^^ bracket string
Search: ...calibre3">([")(?: (?= (\\?))\2.)*?\1</p> -between tags (no space after ?: ) ?
Replace: "\1 <-- (There's a space after the '1') -adds quote to front end of \1 (the captured text)
Did not work in all cases but this got the rest of the mis-matched pairs.
3">((?:\\"|[^"])*")[. , ?] -between tag and punctuation mark(s)

And maybe to find out if there isn't a way to do a replacement that's needed.
For instance, is there a regex to do other types of replacement but only inside body tags?
Is there one only for the actual text - words not part of a tag name or attribute? Words that are only aprt of a tag name or attribute?
If you have any suggestions for the above cases, or any other useful Regex expressions please post them.
