Reply To: GREP Style with Search/Replace?

You got it. I understand the dangers of “hiding” or “automagically” making corrections of these kinds. But on the other hand, the only people here who will even touch GREP-anything are the power-users, and what I'm looking at is a power-user solution. ;)

I've been cruising the GREP threads here, but haven't bumped into the one you refer to…can you provide a URL, you have me curious. :)

Your tracking idea is a good one, and I just did a quick test, and what would be needed was a pattern search like this:

find: a glyph followed by an em-dash followed by a glyph

apply: character style to the em-dash and the preceding glyph (since the tracking only applies to the space after a glyph when highlighting a single glyph)

I've not quite wrapped my head around “look for this pattern but only apply the character style to these sub-elements of what you found”…any kind souls willing to point me in the right direction?
