I mean, hey, in what market are we? Pay $10–30 for a book and then have to invest hours to repair it?! It really, really sucks.

Besides, not everybody has the tools or the knowledge.
Hours? If it is just messy code (but it works), Maybe 10 minutes. with Saved searches and 'clips' to paste into the replace.
Diaps toolbag (Sigil PI) is a start. I wish it could have a bit more helpers
(inventory Tags and THEIR classes.
You select a Tag type, The the value pulldown allows a choose list of the classes (and the tick to keep those is default) Helps eliminate typo retries)
