   Search/Replace capabilities of KATE 22.1   
   03 Feb 25 10:43:09   
   
   From: rowlett@access.net   
      
   My environment is:   
      Debian 12.8 with MATE 1.26.0   
      KATE identifies itself as version 22.12.3   
   Documentation I've used:   
      https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kate/kate/index.html   
      https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kate/katepart/index.html   
      { due to vision/perception issues I avoid PDF }   
      
   I am new to Kate, though I've been exposed to a wide variety of editors   
   since the 60's (impressed by co-workers use of TECO in the 70's).   
      
   I'm reformatting several chapters of a HTML formatted KJV Bible to be a   
   pleasant reading experience for visually impaired seniors.   
      
   Kate's suitability has been demonstrated by using the GUI to manually   
   edit individual chapters. I wish to write macros using ERE's[1] to make   
   my project feasible.   
      
   I paused a few months ago due to difficulties. A recent WEB search   
   turned up a discussion of a similar problem/solution[2].   
   It referenced Kate 23.04 .   
      
   Questions:   
      1. Does that discussion apply to Kate 22.12.3?   
      2. Is there documentation (preferably a tutorial) for this?   
         [I wish to use common terminology when asking further questions.]   
      
   TIA
