Wondering if there is a way to remove end tag with beginning tag

[LadyKate]

I have noticed that in editor if you highlight the beginning tag, the end tag is highlighted. It would be great if there is a way to set calibre editor to remove the end tag when you remove the beginning tag.

It sure would make correcting some of the formatting problems some ebooks have easier.

Diaps Editing Toolbag Plugin? But it is only configurable for current file or All files

For Singles (Joins ) I have saved searches. Sometimes they need fine tuning, when the code is messy (unnecessarily complex )

<p class="foo" id="bar1"><span class="huh"><span class="italic">

(don't you hate Word conversions?)

Just use:

Tools "Fix Html-all files"

it will remove the end tag after an edit removes the beginning tag.

No, never have - because I've always used Word as a word processor, rather than a quill & parchment, or a typewriter, or a text editor. And it got better when features to convert and editor import DOCX were added to calibre a couple of years ago.

I convert/import a dozen DOCX's a day to EPUB, most come out squeaky clean. Any 'cruft' is invariably a direct result of what I did in Word. Either me being lazy and styling inline rather than using a Style, or marking a few words as being in another language.

You're thinking is stuck on Word 95, filtered HTML, and calibre 0.NN. Bit like saying The Internet is slow based one's usage of dial-up in the 80's

I've converted Word documents to epub that someone else has created or edited an epub that someone else has converted from Word documents. They are frequently pretty messy.
