Any chance of a new feature...?
I asked about this in the main Calibre forum, but thought it might me more useful here... I don't suppose a function to clean the formatting in the metadata comments section could be implimented?
Currently I clear all formatting but I'm usually left with something like: <p class="description">blah,blah,blah</p> or: <p>blah,blah,blah</p> I'd like to get rid of all that and just have: blah,blah,blah I'm trying to have a "clean" <dc:description> in the epubs content.opf file and Clibre's comments section. |

Calibre can already 'Remove formatting' in the Metadata Comments in the Library. (Only available in single book MDE mode) Once that is done. You Polish to get the Book updated Modify EPUB can clean non-DC metadata |

Modify EPUB is irrelevant. It uses calibre to embed metadata, and draws on the book record's "comments" field.
dc:description is a DC element. ... The OP is correct that there is currently no way to do what he wants. What is needed is some way to modify the contents of the "comments" field. See this thread for reference: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=268119 |

Any person who wants to remove all traces of anything not pure cares less about those unclean devices.

Can I make a feature request here? If not here, then how?
Please add joint MOBI file detection (e.g. files which contains both MOBI6 and MOBI8). Such files are problematic because calibre can't reliably change metadata. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1532161 for details / example of such file. Kovid Goyal suggested this FR. Thanks. Last edited by PiotrK; 01-14-2016 at 04:09 PM. |

Question, because something confuses me:
What could be the reason if the plugin doesn't find the searched-for term in the epub? For example, it's happened some time ago, that a searched-for text inside the epub body was not found, so I thought it maybe wasn't in any of the books in my library, but I found what I was looking for at a later date by sheer coincidence. It wasn't even like there were some special irregular, non-ASCII characters or some such in the text I was looking for. Similarly, today I thought to do a search to find this in my epub: Spoiler:
and while there should have been at least one epub with it, the search returned empty. So, yeah, I'm confused. Something obvious I'm missing? I realize this description may be far too vague. If so, sorry. But the point is, I have no idea what the criteria are that could cause the plugin to not recognize a search, and I have not found anything about it in the help file, so maybe someone could point me in the right direction? |

the \s* allows for 'pretty' (indented/multiline) coding But ??? why not search for JUST </table> and avoid the multi-line issue? I assume that you want to edit books that HAVE tables Code:
</td>\s*</tr>\s*</tbody>\s*</p> |

Also, that doesn't explain why utterly normal text (well, normal aside from the fact that it is inside a table, come to think of it) will not be found by the plugin either. There has to be a reason, so if there are reasons, like say, tables are inherently unsearchable or something, I'd like to know for future reference. |

You can use the Multi-Column Search plug-in to do full-text searches (using regular expressions) on selected epubs after converting them to .txt files, but still with the original html tags. Pandoc can do that. See the attached example which includes the explanatory ToolTips. DaltonST |
