    <li>

    <li>
    khotanese</li>

    <li>
    kinyarwanda</li>

    <li>
    elamite</li>

To this?

<li>German</li>
<li>sidamo</li>
<li>altaic_languages</li>

CodePudding user response:

  • Ctrl H
  • Find what: li>\R\h*
  • Replace with: li>
  • CHECK Wrap around
  • CHECK Regular expression
  • Replace all

Explanation:

li>         # literally
\R          # any kind of linebreak (i.e. \r, \n, \r\n)
\h*         # 0 or more horizontal spaces
