Hi there! Thanks all of you, for your help... XHTML has the hN mapped to snippets, just had to dig farther. As for the \s space thing, it's clear now, but a bit inconsistent (or newbie confusing?). The find field works as expected, but replace accepts \t and \n, but not \s. (haven't checked others) I assumed they all would (started with \t), and forgot about my assumption. Perhaps the unambiguous (\t,\s,\n, etc. labeled "General Escape Codes" in the help files) markers could all work? IMHO, that would be more consistent.
As someone already pointed out, \s would match both a tab and a regular space, so it would not be so clear which of them you would want to use in the replace part, hence you are not allowed to be ambiguous like that :-)

I think you've misunderstood the regex characters: \s means "any single horizontal whitespace character", such as a tab or a space. You can't use this as a replacement character (it's *not* a character), just use a literal space instead. (ie, just type in a space for the replacement character.)
Cheers, Paul
