In a big writer file (300 pages) I want to make many words hidden. There are over 100 sentences which describe: day of the month/time/weekday, for example:
<feb12/09:20/we>
Can I change color of all fonts begining with “<” and ending with “>”?
Maybe with a help of question mark “??”
I want to have all this fragments sometimes not visibled.
It would certainly be easier if you had styled your document. It has a structure: a “prefix” paragraph with a date, perhaps a task description and then detail paragraphs. Each of these categories should have its own paragraph style. Then you modifiy the style and, instantly, all corresponding paragraphs are updated.
It should be possible to do this with Find/Replace formatting. For the Find/Replace itself you’d use a regex.
Find: (<[^>]+>)
Replace: $1
Then, make sure your cursor is in the Replace field and then click the Format button. Choose Font Effects, Font Color.
or
Find: <.*>
Yes, thanks. It works with <.*>
Showed 118 found items.
This longer one <[^>]+> showed zero found.
