            Bug ID: 112575
           Summary: No regular expression for paragraph mark
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: dani3l.grigoras at gmail.com

Description:
I have not found a regular expression for searching and replacing combinations
of paragraph marks and text.

If I search for \n in my document, all that is found are the paragraph marks
inserted before figure captions found in the frames of the figures.

Also, the help page on regular expressions
(https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/List_of_Regular_Expressions) wrongly
states that \n is for searching line breaks inserted via Shift+Enter.
Shift+Enter inserts a page break and not a line break.

MS Word has a "Special" button in the Search & Replace window to easily pick
regular expressions. This should also be a feature of LibreOffice.

Please correct this issue and make \n or \p to represent a paragraph mark.

Use case: I want to search for certain lines containing certain text and
replace that text together with the line on which that text was placed. I can't
make any such replacement as \nTextToReplace is not found.
