When you create an input program for the editor

mrmikel · 01-23-2014, 02:36 PM

When you create a module that opens HTML files, how about converting all the U+2029 characters to <br />? It would make it much easier to search for. For what it is worth, that is what Sigil does, if that is any recommendation. It does create a lot of needless ones which must be disposed of. How about just filtering them out when the HTML is imported?

I have had to run the search several ways to locate all instances of this character which can not be accessed with \u2029 in Find. I tried pasting out of insert special characters and that didn't do the job. It seems to be searchable only when combined with another character.

One cannot just replace it with <br> ad hoc, that could create invalid HTML, not to mention change how the document renders.

Because Qt uses U+2029 internally, you will not be able to do a find replace for it in an open editor. Instead open the opf file and then do a find replace selecting all text files as the target. That should do the trick.

Thanks very much. That should take care of it.
