I’ve searched for this, but seems there’s too many ways of referring to it to find a reasonable search result…
I’m laying out a fiction book and need to use a glyph/symbol/image (I’m getting less picky as time goes on) in between certain paragraphs. I have an image I’d like to use, and can also create a font with the symbol in it if needed…
In the document (Word) the author has typed “<fleuron>” (no quotes) on a paragraph by itself to indicate the section mark.
Because I can’t insert images with styles (remember the days of Ventura Publisher when you could?), I have a paragraph style called “fleuron,” which has centered alignment and a bullet which is a reasonable symbol for this purpose. I’ve played with a character style to apply to the bullet “character” to drop the symbol to the baseline for better spacing.
Now, I need to find a way to hide the text “<fleuron>” that’s in the copy. I could search/replace and delete it, but this could cause me problems later.
Anybody got an idea? I’m sure I’ve just missed something simple in the GREP syntax, but I’m stumped.
