Searching within stylesheet.css?
Is there a way to search through the stylesheet for certain elements? For instance, I have a book where the author decided that everything needed lots of space between the lines. So I want to search stylesheet.css for 'line-height' and delete those lines. But the Calibre Editor says that "No matches were found".

Anyone know how to accomplish this?

It may not be line height. It may bea margin settings. Looks at the average paragraph and see what the class is.

I was looking at the stylesheet, and individually deleting the 15 different line-height classes worked, but that was the hard way.

I just had a book that had a <p class> with a hidden space between each normal paragraph. Which then changed every few chapters.

So, you might have this problem too. You have to search for these code(s) and leave the replace with a blank.

I keep trying to learn Regex, and it just doesn't stick. But this might help someone else.

There are a couple of good tutorials here at MR.
Get yourself a REGEX cheat sheet.

The majority of my REGEX is basic level with a few intermediate

My Kobo hates letter spacing (OK I hate the results)
This is the simple REGEX I use to find book I have not fixed.
Code:
\s\s\sletter-spacing
The reason for the \s Any White space) is I comment out that line with the editor
Code:
\* letterspacing: the value; *\
, so it will not find again, but leave a note about the way it was.

Sometimes the Calibre Editor doesn’t search the way you’d expect. You might try opening your stylesheet in a different text editor like Notepad++ or Sublime Text.
