Paragraph Regex

FDPuthuff · 09-27-2020, 11:58 AM

If I find myself in the situation of having a document/manuscript/other in Sigil, and I need to wrap every paragraph between and , what is the regex for the find and replace?

I believe the find is: ^(.+)$
But I can not figure out what to put in the replace.

In TextMate: Find: ^(.+)$ Replace:$1
In Word: Find: ^p Replace: ^p

Thanx for the assist.
