you are You are a great teacher, you saved me days with this lesson. I hope you stay well and be generous to us with more lessons. With many thanks and best wishes
I'm glad they've been helpful. Yes, I've been so behind on videos and I will be making more soon. I'm aiming at November for new ones...after returning from Adobe MAX at the end of this month. That's keeping me way too busy right now. Any particular subject you want to see?
after watching the video you recommended i totally get it now, but it won't change to italic. Set up the bare-boned italic character style. No matter what I tried it won't change.
+Brenda Muzzy Does the font in your paragraph style have an installed italic version? If not, it won't display. If it does and you're still having issues, feel free to email me with specifics on the type you're trying to modify. learn@ericagamet.com
Great video, concise presentation well presented. In so many Indesign tutorials the presenters waffle and too frequently sound nasally... sort of like Kermit the frog, and the video's are more about them than the subject. Not so with your videos. I have subscribed to your channel. Good stuff.
+Kevin Stevenson Thanks! I've been trying to keep "just the meat" of the topic in my vids. Getting better at that. I will be ramping up videos again in May...trying to get back to my once-a-week schedule. Thanks for subscribing. Let me know if there's a topic you'd like me to cover!
HI Erica, a workflow from Indesign for fixed layout and reflowable EPUBs would be great. Also using the Data Merge function to create a catalogue from an Excel document. Am working my way through the videos you have already posted. All good. Thanks.
I've been following along with all your videos. I found this one confusing. In the change to box you have $2.What are you referncing here. Also when you have italics in the middle of a sentence, how did you set that up first to be applicable?
Sorry to confuse you. The $2 is Found Text 2...meaning the text that fit the second group in the expression. Those are offset by parenthesis. I covered doing that in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dxJjqOCiz30.html After you watch that and if it still isn't making sense to you, let me know (you can even email me if that works best for you). Thanks for watching!
Can you please give me some practical example of Zero or One Time (Shortest Match) and Zero or More Times (Shortest Match)? I am unable to understand the use of these two options in real life.
Zero or one time can be seen as "is there or not." So maybe there is a digit following a string, but maybe there isn't. In this case it would mean there either isn't a digit or there is exactly one digit. If you use Zero or more times, in the example, the string may be followed by one digit or none or multiple digits. So whether something is or isn't there, it still fits the pattern defined in the GREP expression.
