+:guilabel:`Export`.

+Once you are done working on the exported file, you can re-import it into the

+Search & Replace
+-------------------
+
+Edit Book has a very powerful search and replace interface that allows you to
+search and replace text in the current file, across all files and even in a
+marked region of the current file. You can search using a normal search or
+using regular expressions. To learn how to use regular expressions for advanced
+searching, see :ref:`regexptutorial`.
+

+    :align: center
+
+Start the search and replace via the :guilabel:`Search->Find/replace` menu
+entry (you must be editing an HTML or CSS file).  
+
+Type the text you want to find into the Find box and its replacement into the
+Replace box. You can the click the appropriate buttons to Find the next match,
+replace the current match and replace all matches. 
+
+Using the drop downs at the bottom of the box, you can have the search operate
+over the current file, all text files, all style files or all files. You can
+also choose the search mode to be a normal (string) search or a regular
+expression search. 
+
+You can count all the matches for a search expression via
+:guilabel:`Search->Count all`. The count will run over whatever files/regions
+you have selected in the dropdown box.
+
+You can also go to a specific line in the currently open editor via
+:guilabel:`Search->Go to line`.
+
+.. note:: 
+    Remember, to harness the full power of search and replace, you will
+    need to use regular expressions. See :ref:`regexptutorial`.
