I have 10 saved searches.
These are ALL really templates and get touched up to match the actual class="..."
Only the simple Join to lower do I ever use 'replace all' (and that is after checking what it does). For the rest, I use Find (this is what you also use to Skip without a replace)

Tip 1 is always 'Reformat: Multiple lines' before using the CSS cleans it adds the optional last ; before the }. And Prettify for the ALL HTML before using.

Tip 2 is to complete the basic cleans like join to lower before STEPPING thru the joins for honorific Be careful on the order you use things with Capitals and Periods

Code:

Mr.</p>
<p class="foo">Smith...

is a case that should be joined with a space and is NOT 2 paragraphs.

Here is a screenshot of my normal saved 'Joins' It is not even 75% of what you will see. Those will still need hand crafting.
Some of mine include support for both curly and straight quotes.

For de-hyphen, I start with Calibre's Editor:Spell check (with the filter set to -) as it offers a joined version as a choice (note: not all words with - are wrong. Never just remove blindly)

Sigil and Calibre are TOOLS. I use both as the ARE different on what and how. Neither is wrong or bad. They fit with the way I do stuff
