Is there a way to turn the dictionary off???

I guess that I should be more explicit.

Is there a way to toggle the dictionary display on/off? The highlighted words can be distracting when you are working on something else.

Is there a way to write a REGEX that only matches words the dictionary highlights?

Edit->Preferences->Dictionary - select None

Have no idea (unlikely though), but interesting idea. I was thinking about a spellcheck button that lists the lines with errors in them, but modifying Find in some way to find the next mis-spelled word is another approach worth considering.

I think a list for search and replace is something that'll be needed sooner or later - it could dual purpose for this too I guess. But I guess that's a feature request for the future

What gave me the idea, was I want to remove hyphens (really Mdash) that ran into the next word. Spell check shows these as red, this would leave real hyphenated words alone

Yes.

Wrapping in some form will come back in a later version.

Don't you find those with a search for "MDash\B" ?

I heard about an error, which I have not been able to reproduce yet. I can't reproduce, because I don't have a source in which the error is. I have asked for the file though.

It seems that Sigil will crash when a word contains the HTML entity ­. That entity is not visible, but apparently the word is indicated is misspelled. When after right-clicking on the word the correct spelling is chosen, Sigil crashes.
I will try to reproduce, but at the moment if I use ­ it doesn't get converted to a HTML entity.

\B is a dictionary based word boundary?

1)They are no longer Mdash (they got mangled in OCR/conversion).

2)How to tell the difference between a hyphenated words and a Mdash run-together? Spelling. Visually 1 or both sides of the dash fail spell check (and a few pass completely )

No, \B is "not word boundary"
I thought you meant "– bla" was fine and "–bla" was not, and with –\B you should find "–bla"

But actually I am wrong, you need \b (although I do not understand why), so "–\b" will find "–bla".
Of course if – got replaced by - this will not really work anymore

You are correct the -\b would find it.
I want another 'AND' condition: Spelling error, since -\b is valid in many, many, cases.

If I had my druthers, the options would be; start from top or start from cursor. In either case, it would not wrap.

Okay, found something else:

the expression (.*) is not capturing strings that are longer than one line of code. For example:

a search for

<div[^>]*>(.*)</div>

comes back with zero hits, even though there are multiple instance that should be matched by that, such as:

    <div class="s1">
      <h4 class="calibre3" id="heading_id_2"><span class="none">Chapter 2.</span></h4>

      <h4 class="calibre3" id="heading_id_3"></h4>
    </div>

That should be

(?s)<div[^>]*>(.*)</div>

.

. does not match newline by default now.
