List formatting edit

  • $ - add something on end of lines
  • \s*$ replaced with nothingness (this removes any spaces/tabs at the end of the lines)
  • \t replaced with - (this converts tabs, which are now only there b/w words, to dashes)
The "Treat search string as a regular expression" option should be checked always.
To add # at the starts, you'd do search for ^ and replace with #.
You may find this cheatsheet useful if you want to learn regex.
A better # insertion regex might be
Search for: ([\r\n])([^#\{=\r\n]) – find a newline followed by anything but #, {, =, or another newline
Replace with: $1#$2 – the found newline followed by a new # followed by the character that wasn't in the search exclusion set
For hyphen replacement:
Search for: [\t ]+\-[\t ]+ – find a hyphen between one or more whitespace characters; done this way so that the newline pair (\n\r) aren't included in the match
Replace with:  – <space><ndash><space>
