These questions and answers should probably be moved to our thread on regular expressions since they are not specific to our release.

Thank you!

I moved the bulk of the last regex discussion. It can found on the last page of https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...167971&page=20

Sorry I went too far astray, and thank you for finding my question a better thread to continue in.

Going back to the original topic of discussion (how to get a Word doc into Sigil) — I tried it two ways with success:

1) Word Doc with atrocious formatting (resulting from scanning a paper book) > Save As: Filtered HTML > import HTML file into Sigil > clean up with regex search/replace

2) Import Word Doc into Sigil using DocXImport plugin > light clean up using search/replace

#2 was easier, but #1 helped me learn regex — and I am grateful to everyone who helped me with the latter
