RH 2022: Search & Replace Content in HTML View

[Andrea@AgileDocs]

Last question of the day... Outside of using an external tool, is there a way to search and replace tags in HTML view? For example, is there a way to change all instances of  <H2>Sample Text</H2> to something like <H23>Sample Text</H3>. Seems that the native search and replace feature only replaces topic content, and not the underlying code.

I assume H23 is a typo and you meant H3.

Find and replace has an option to work in Source Code. The problem though is you want to change the opening tag and closing tag but not the heading. You would need to use a regular expression for that. If you don't know how to do that, find a friendly developer (they do exist 🙂 ) and ply them with chocolate. Unfortunately not all developers can write regular expressions.
