Multi-line chapter titles with <br/> and the TOC

[phossler]

I'm finding a lot of chapter titles with a <br/> for a multiline heading

Making a TOC the <br/> is ignored and the lines run together in the TOC

Is there RegEx that I can use, but I think it'd be better if the TOC making code just converted <br/> to a space

I use the Inline TOC option a lot also

Generally, I add a title="" element to the header tag. I use a simple regex to add the chapter number and text to the title element.

I use a Saved Search to add a space before all my <br> tags:

Search:  ([a-z.,:;>])<br/>
Replace:  \1 <br/>

I use the space before the <br /> method. I found doing it after made the second line off center more noticeable.
I use the title= method when I want the TOC to be different than the (Chapter) heading

Thanks to all --

I added the Hx test since I only wanted this for headings and put it in my Saved Searches

Sometimes there's a digit before the br/, e.g. Chapter 1<br/>Going Home

Find: <([Hh][1-6])>(.*?)<br/>(.*?)</\1>

Replace: <\1>\2 <br/>\3</\1>

(space before the br/ )


It'll probably fail for a 3 line header

IMHO a better solution would be for the TOC module just change <br/> to space

Good point about the digit (especially for chapter headers). I've updated my saved search to include that:

([a-z\d.,:;>])<br/>

Thanks.

Actually, now that I think about it, that search should probably be for any non-whitespace character before the <br/> (at least I can't come up with a reason where that wouldn't work):
