No time unfortunately. Every time I revisit this plugin, I have to relearn how Calibre plugins work, as well as remember how my own old logic works! I'll try to fix things that break, but feature changes are probably not in the cards for this plugin.

I wouldn't be opposed at all if someone was motivated enough to want to fork my repo and add user requests to a new and improved toolbag plugin, though.

I'm currently editing a book with a lot of colloquail English with a lot of contractions - usually I've formatted such words ('em, 'ave etc.) by hand to use the right single quote instead of left single quote or typewriter apostrophes, because the editor function (or Word/LO, for that matter) always gets this wrong. But this is a long book full of them, and it's really tedious to go through all the dialogue and manually fix them all.

I've tried using this plugin, but the Smarten Punctuation feature doesn't seem to work - it looks like it ignores the exceptions list, and formats the single quotes just like the editor function. Any idea if there's a bug, or if I'm just using it wrong? I have the exceptions file in the same calibre folder as the plugins, and am using Calibre 5.44 (haven't updated my system yet to a distro with the version of gcc required by later Calibre versions), and the plugin version is from the first post in this thread.

Hello @DiapDealer

I am using the Edit Spans & Divs feature to try converting <span class="italic"> to <i>.
Action type : Modify
Tag name: span
Attribute: class
Value: italic
Change to: i

Can't figure out where I am going wrong as I keep receiving the following error.

I see you are not really maintaining, but thought I would report it anyway. I used a regex instead so no problem.
Thanks.
