He also made the epic accessible to the semi-literate and the visually impaired. He brought history to auto-drivers in Chennai waiting for fares, to elderly grandmothers in villages who never learned formal literary Tamil, and to second-generation Tamil kids in America who speak the language but cannot read the script.

He has done for Kalki what Richard Burton did for the Arabian Nights—turned text into theater. In a world of short reels and fleeting content, spending 120 hours with Bombay Kannan’s voice is an act of rebellion. It is slow. It is rich. It is worth it.

Today, the Ponniyin Selvan audio book by Bombay Kannan is available on major streaming platforms like Spotify, Audible, and YouTube. It has been remastered, but the heart remains the same.

Absolutely. If you type into your search bar today, you are not just finding a book. You are finding a companion. Whether you are a 15-year-old student who hasn't touched a Tamil novel since high school, or a 70-year-old who read the original in Kalki magazine, Bombay Kannan bridges the gap.
That’s a brilliant tip and the example video.. Never considered doing this for some reason — makes so much sense though.
So often content is provided with pseudo HTML often created by MS Word.. nice to have a way to remove the same spammy tags it always generates.
Good tip on the multiple search and replace, but in a case like this, it’s kinda overkill… instead of replacing

Cool! Regex to the rescue.
My main use-case has about 15 find-replaces for all kinds of various stuff, so it might be a little outside the scope of a single regex.
Yeah, I could totally see a command like
remove cruftdoing a bunch of these little replaces. RegEx could absolutely do it, but it would get a bit unwieldy.</?(p|blockquote|span)[^>]*>What sublime theme are you using Chris? Its so clean and simple!

Thanks Joe!
Question, in your code, I understand the need for ‘find’, ‘replace’ and ‘case’. What does greedy do? Is that a designation to do all?
What is the theme used in the first image (package install) and last image (run new command)?
There is a small error in your JSON code example.
A closing bracket at the end of the code is missing.
There is a cool plugin for Sublime Text https://github.com/titoBouzout/Tag that can strip tags or attributes from file. Saved me a lot of time on multiple occasions. Can’t recommend it enough. Especially if you don’t want to mess with regular expressions.
