Hey There,
Yeah, you couldn't automate the whole process with regex alone.

Hey There,
You miswrote your lookahead-assertion.
This:

Should look like this:
([\s\S]+?)(?=)
This is fine,
I tried doing this with just a regular expression but couldn't figure out
how. I was however able to do it quite easily with a text filter. The
following PERL example works for me to split the text and create and save
an individual file for each chapter.
Save the following in your text filters
Misread that part. Try this:
(?<=)([\s\S]+?)(?=)
Cheers

Thank you, but all that does for me is select that one entire chapter
heading, not the entire chapter heading plus all the paragraphs of text
below. In other words in my example that string selects Exciting Chapter
Title Here, but nothing else.

Try this, using positive lookahead and lookbehind assertions:
(?<=).+(?=)

My fiction writing workflow initially produces one HTML document with the
entire novel’s content. Each chapter starts with Exciting Chapter Title
Here then many paragraphs of story text with arbitrary HTML markup. I
split each chapter into its own HTML page, containing everything from that
