epub with no 's

phossler · 06-20-2015, 08:16 PM

Recently downloaded a epub report (I think) that might have started life as a .txt file (maybe). Example in the spoiler

Problem 1. There are no ... tags, but just text 'paragraphs' separated by .

Problem 2. Sometimes there is <blockquote> around a block of text, but no tags

Problem 3. Sometimes there are large 'blank' sections that are various combinations of PARAGRAPH SEPERATOR + SPACE or SPACE + PARAGRAPH SEPERATOR or PARAGRAPH SEPERATOR + PARAGRAPH SEPERATOR + PARAGRAPH SEPERATOR + etc. [Beautify] and [Fix HTML] don't clean them up, but a Find: \n{2,} Replace: \n does catch a lot, but leaves the spaces

Are there (probably) 3 RegEx's that will

1. Put tags around the blocks of text that don't have any? I can delete the 's
2. Put tags around the blocks of text inside <blockquotes>'s that don't have any? I can delete the <blockquote>'s manually if I need to
3. Remove the spaces that are outside 's?

Spoiler:

Code:

I used this:

Code:

find: <br/>\s*(.*?)\s*<
replace: <p>\1</p>\n<

Note: May take more than one pass to find all 's.

You need four "replace all"s in total:

Two steps:
(1) Wrap the body in ...
Find: <body>(.*?)</body>
Replace: <body>\n\1\n</body>

(2) Replace all the s
Find: 
Replace: \n

Find: <blockquote>(.*?)</blockquote>
Replace: <blockquote>\n\1\n</blockquote>

Or, if you just want plain paras instead of blockquotes,

Replace: \1
