I have been using an addon to add pinyin as a ruby on top of Chinese characters, but I couldn’t work out how to stop it from adding to characters which already had pinyin - ending up with something looking like this:
Is there a way to just remove all ruby from a field and start again? I don’t want to hide the ruby as I want to be able to add them again starting from the beginning.
Could you post here the HTML code of this field from several notes? (Press Ctrl + Shift + X to open the HTML editor).
yep, for instance:
二月
电子 邮箱
哥哥
It would work also to just remove all non-chinese characters from this field if there was a way to do this?
Open the browser, select all the notes you need to edit; in the top menu bar click on “Notes”, then on “Find and Replace…”; check the “Treat input as a regular expression” option if it isn’t already checked and in the “Find” field paste this:
[^\u4E00-\u9FA5]+
and in the “Replace With” type a single space; click on the OK button.
This will remove all the HTML tags, keeping the chinese characters and the possible space between them
(as in 电子 邮箱). It will add a (non-visible in the editor) space at the beginning and at the end, though. To remove those as well, open the “Find and Replace” window again; in the “Find” field paste:
(^ | $)
and make sure that the “Replace With” field is empty; click on the OK button.
(If this doesn’t work, undo all the edits clicking on “Edit” -> “Undo Find and Replace” twice)
