Hi Gang,
Is there any way to display just the tab and paragraph marker
without also displaying the space marker? I find it visually
distracting and annoying.
Also, is there any way to keep true paragraph markers and yet
delete end of line markers? This is a problem I often have and
have never found a way to do it. In W$%^ it is easy. I use ^p^p
as the search term and # as the replacement. Then I delete all ^p
markers. Then I find # and replace with ^p^p. I realize that the
marker in OO is not a "real" thing but a programing thing that
can not, normally, be selected by itself. I can use ^$ to find
single markers for blank lines but it will not find two in a row,
i.e., ^$^$, a line with text and then the next line which is empty.
I get a lot of documents that are double spaced and either triple
spaced or double double spaced to indicate paragraph breaks.
Often scanned documents will have a paragraph marker at the end
of every line that needs deleted for proper text flow when a page
width is different than the original or I'm making a PDF for
instant printing or a book layout. Currently I have to open the
file in W$%^, do the paragraph thing and then finish my work in
OO. Because I have to do this (looong documents) I still have to
use Windoze and I'd like to move all this work to my FreeBSD machine.
Best to you and yours whom you cherish most, now and throughout
this New Year.
Allen
