Find & Replace

phossler · Today, 06:13 PM

I got some ideas in my earlier post

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...highlight=tags

but I can't figure out if it's possible to ignore a 'Find' if it's inside a tag(s)

Say for example i have

<p class="big black">See the big cat</p>

and I want to just replace 'big' with 'large' but only in the text

<p class="big black">See the large cat</p>

How to do it?

It'd be nice if there was a F&R checkbox to "Ignore in tags"

An equivalent to Sigil's Text checkbox to restrict search to text?
