ps: I used a text editor to do the regex. I highly recommend using a text editor instead of any sort of word processor to develop your xhtml. 'Course, I've been doing it that way for a while, and I've got some good practices. Once you've got it right, and clean, the import/conversion process goes very, very well.
Howdy:

I thought I'd put in one of these posts (?) that I'm using Crimson Editor--and in fact asked you which one you were using, because I occasionally have problems with regex searches in CE when I am also using WordWrap.

I wouldn't consider using a wordprocessor to generate xhtml or html, for that matter. I only recently moved "up" to CE from notepad, LOL!!

Yes, I was wondering if anyone had had any luck "squishing" reviews into a comments field or other miscellaneous field (for example, Sigil has a "reviewer" metadata field, but nothing for the review itself, never have figured out the point of that one) that would feed the various resellers for display, like LibreDigital (for those of us who do NOT have Mac's!!).

Thanks, @cap. I'm working on tweaking my way out of the page header issues (the Title and Author headers page by page) in the BD-Word template, then using its "tag italic" and "tag bold" features to mark what I need to save--that's really been the kicker--and using regex in Sigil for all the other wee bits.

I have a new author I'm starting tonight who fortunately is not enamored of nine bazillion bits of italicization, which will, I hope, make my life easier. I'm going to try to do my whole first "sweep" through the scanned doc in BD and see what happens...although I'm still a little unsure about saving the file as html while in BD...I'll experiment with that (wouldn't it be just as easy to output it as epub and pull it into Sigil for finalization and tweakage?).

I've been doing plain "conversions" of txt, Word, pdf files for a while for clients on their backlist, but this latest experiment with their backlists getting OCR'd and then sent to me has been a whole new joy. I am very grateful for all the help I've been getting here.
