Move text from prior file
I'm tweaking an ebook which is arranged as:

Code:
part1.xhtml /* contains chapter title */
chapter1.xhtml /* chapter text */
part2.xhtml /* contains chapter title */
chapter2.xhtml /* chapter text */
...
Is there an easy way to extract the title from its file and put it into the next file (the text file)? Search/replace does not appear to work across file boundaries.

It would be simple but not easy to do this manually.

Select both files
From the context menu, select "Merge selected text files".
Then perform your S&R operation if still needed.

Why are they separate?
Are you still using H tags for styling?
(and Calibre tends to split on those during conversion)

A P tag with the same CLASS, looks the same

I have no idea why they are separate. I'm tweaking a published book. The part page also includes a large publisher logo. It's all a waste of space and an extra page turn, upsetting my aesthetics.

A P rather than H tag for a heading means I can't alter how the line-spacing appears on my Kobo, resulting in too much blank space between lines of large heading text, at least too much for my taste. IOW, the don't look the same due to rendering oddities, even if they should look the same. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=363801

And what's wrong with

Unless the book creators decided to have multiple classes with the same name differentiated by the tag type.

One ebook I recently cleaned up had div.chapter-title, p.chapter-title and h3.chapter-title classes, all of which had different styles.
