LibreOffice: indent all lines starting with italic via find/replace

in flag

I have a huge text, and I would like to indent all lines which start with italic text, via find/replace.

I tried using ^ and italic via the format button, but then the search string is not found.

If I fill in ^. and italic (via the format button), then due to the dot it finds the search strings, but then my first letter is disappearing everywhere when I enter \t in the replace box.

So how to deal with this?

Find: ^(.earch) Replace: \t$1

$1 is the placeholder for the first item in the search string that is within braces. \t represents the tab character.

It looks like you intended to write `^(.)` as the Find pattern. Then it works.

Thanks, that worked. I missed the $1 part

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
