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.

Hello! Would it be possible to add heading tags (h1, h2, etc.) to the list of available tags in the tag drop-down list? I find that one of the more common changes that I need to make is changing one heading level to another, and I'm not seeing a way to do that via this plugin. (Find/replace works, but takes a little longer and is more error-prone.)

I agree that this is a good addition.

I was revisiting this plugin and noticed this report. I've rarely run into any parsing errors like that. Was the (x)html it was run on verified as valid? Or was there a chance that it was invalid? Invalid (x)html is about the only thing I can think of that might produce such an error. Even a problematic regex search shouldn't make the parser barf.

I probably won't change the default list, but I am working on an update that would make adding more tags to the drop down list possible (via the config dialog).

It's been quite a while now, so I don't recall if there were issues or not.
Most likely there were some errors as I try using this plugin at the start of my editing process.
If you want, I can let you know when it happens next and you can check the ebook.

Did you have the current file box ticked and no TEXT file on the workspace?

I didn't have the box ticked as I want changes book-wide.
Not sure what the other bit means - "no text file on the workspace"

If the box was ticked, you need to have a file selected. Since you run, like I do, All. That is not your issue.

New version (0.5.0) added to first post.

Provides the ability to add/remove searchable tags to the Edit Span/Div tool's combo box via the config dialog. No need to edit the plugin's code or preferences json.

Once you add a tag, you'll need to close (OK) the config and reopen it to add the parameters for your new tag.

Thank you!

[icallaci]

This works great. Thank you so much.

Very nice. Thanks!
