Search ignoring tags - Page 2

Could this be extended to spell checking. If a word is partially marked as italic or bold etc, then false spelling errors can eventuate. The following will create a spelling error, because 'cordantly' isn't a word .

Code:

 <i>dis</i>cordantly

Yeah, I know its a awful practice, and I have no idea why anyone would mark such a word thus, but they do. I even run into it in academic texts! What's the world coming to

Kovid, I found some issues where the search will not find repeatable a word or word groups in a terrible testing file.

.
I did open a bug report and attach the test file. Password will follow as PM.

@BR: Too much work, sorry. Not to mention that there is no way to know if a tag boundary is a word separator or not. If the display style of the tag is set to block, then it would erroneously think to words are run together when they are not.

No worries - I can live with solace I get from recursing the authors
