Note that the Repeat refers only to the immediately preceding character or variable.
Scripts / Blocks set
As explained in “Finding and/or replacing non-Roman characters” below, you can look up the
Unicode blocks for specific scripts in the Characters palette (choose the menu command Special
Characters > Show Character Catalog… at the bottom of the Edit menu, choose Code Tables from
the View pop-up menu inside the Characters palette) as illustrated in Figure 341, and enter them
directly in a PowerFind Pro expression.
A “Block” is merely a named contiguous code point range, while a “script” is a property of each code
point. Often times code points in the same block will have the same script, but there is no hard rule
on this.
Nisus Writer Pro does, however, include metacharacters for a wide variety of scripts and blocks. If
you are familiar with code blocks, these are all fairly self explanatory and are, thereby, listed here
without much further explanation.
