Hi!

Can you tell if it's possible to use FanFicFare to search&replace text in the body of fic? When it's downloaded, for example?

Such as replacing "labour" with "labor". Or, as another example, I read a lot of fics from Chinese fandoms and there are multiple technically correct translations of the same characters' names, and I would like to make all fics spell them the same way.

I already replaced all I need in metadata (using add_to_replace_metadata, FanFicFare was amazing at normalizing ship names across all fics!) but I'm having trouble doing it in the fics' text itself.

I can do that with Calibre's native Search&Replace, but it works one fic at a time and I might need tens or hundreds of fics edited at once, so doing it that way would be pretty time-consuming.
