--- Comment #5 from David <[email protected]> --- I'd like to add my voice to the request for this development to move to solution. I also support comment #3 and appreciate DouglasCarnall's pithy "tl;dr" that captures the situation nicely. (I can't see what is relevant "inked discussion at 46165", however - is that bug number a typo?) Another "real world" scenario is the possibility of finding and removing duplicate paragraphs. This is a common workflow: sort paragraphs > search on continguous identical paragraphs > remove duplicates. At the moment, so far as I know, this is not possible in Writer, either with the "native" CTRL-H + regex search/replace (which cannot match across $ paragraph boundaries), or with the AltSearch extension (which cannot use back-references in searches with * -- although it can make matches across paragraph breaks). There is some discussion of this at AskLibreOffice: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/27682/regular-expression-references-not-working/ It would be wonderful to see this "fixed"! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
