Swap Style Tag From H2 to P

[mechartrand]

Hi!

I have done a mistake when creating my stylesheet.
We have set a tag as H2 for something that as to be a P tag.
Now the H2 style has been assigned in over 2000 topics.
Is there a way I can swap the H2 style or change H2 style to be a P style?

Thanks !

You have something like this <h2 class="dummy"> in the source code of your topics and you want to change it to <p class="dummy">?
You will need to develop a regular expression for a projectwide Find & Replace ... what Flare version do you use?

Why regular expressions? Because the following algorithm changes the starts of the tags only, e.g.:
You change <h2 class="dummy">Heading here</h2> into <p class="dummy">Heading here</h2> by:
1. CTRL + f
2. Find what: <h2 class="dummy">
3. Replace with: <p class="dummy">
4. Find in: Whole project
5. Find in source code
6. Start
7. Replace in all files

BUT: You need to change the closing tag too!! Otherwise Flare won't let you save those topics.

You enter the strings with regular expressions in steps 2 and 3 and set Use to 'Regular Expressions'. Some RegEx experts here will be able to give you the strings you need.

To find that </h2> tag the following should work.

Find: (?<=<p class="dummy">.+)</h2>
Replace: </p>

Just make sure you back your project up first incase it all goes wrong. Start the find/replace and check the first few topics to make sure its working as expected, then just do replace all.

Tools like FAR HTML make jobs like this much easier. You can run a global search and replace and update both the start and end tags in one step.
