No Kaveh - Unfortunately Fletcher's reply doesn't help. I'll try to clarify.
In this case, I want to make *bold* parts of some lines of text which begin with <p> up to where the bold part will end at a colon (:) Any text after the colon won't be bold. <p>*All this text will be bold, as until the first colon*: The text after the colon will be normal.</p> <p><strong>123</strong>Any lines which begin as this one does, will not be changed.</p> (The number being any combination of 1-3 digits). I hope that's more clear. Apologies for the lack of clarity. Andy On Sunday, 14 May 2023 at 20:11:38 UTC+1 Kaveh Bazargan wrote: > Sorry, still not clear for me.
