I have a large document that I want to convert into a wiki page. What I am looking for is a way to find all italicized strings in the document, and replace that string with an <i> in front and an </i> behind. I can find all italicized strings, and I can replace them with a fixed string, but I cannot find a way to modify the found string. Is there a way to dump that string into a variable or some such so that it can be modified?
 
Put the cursor in the Find what box and press Ctrl+I

Then, in the Replace with box enter [blue][tt]<i>^&</i>[/tt][/blue]

The press Replace All

Enjoy,
Tony
