<span class="quote">> Regex is irrelevant - it happens without regex as well. Basically, Find/Replace
> applies the format of the first character across the entire replaced string.</span >

But yes, I understand that you are pulling the "replace" out of your search
string, so perhaps their could be a bit more intelligence built-in to also
carry along the current formatting. But I fully expect that this just gets a
string of text, and not a fragment of fully formatted Writer text.
