    Hi @OriginationCC27875182tucs, try the following:

     

    Find what:

    <\?tul=1>([^<]+)<\?tul>

     

    Change to:

    $1

     

    Change Format:

    I think that will work even if there are carriage returns in between. See how it goes.

    A Nested style would work better and less confusing.

    You can type in the characters in the place it says Words - replace it for the text you want.

    Some lines don't have <?tul> so would need to apply until a paragraph return?

    (<\?tul=1>)(.+)(<\?tul>|$)
