regex/HTMLText question

[Jim Ault]

Caution: wordoffset, replace, regEx
You need to decide what constitutes a word.
In Rev,
ending ending. ending, ending?  ending!   ending)   ending]    
ending"   ending's   ending=  (ending)
are all words, so the last word in a phrase or sentence cannot be  
matched by wordoffset without a bit of rule checking for punctuation.

The same will apply to regEx since white space/punctuation rules can  
vary.
