EPUB regex "\\"

[rolliver]

small error in the EPUB I found from typing it out

preprocessed = re.split(r'([,.:;?_!"()\']|--|\\s)', text)
but it should be one slash for a regex space '\s' - The github repo and the PDF have the right version of this:

preprocessed = re.split(r'([,.:;?_!"()\']|--|\s)', text)

It's in several places - maybe it's a problem with converting to EPUB?

Thanks for the note, and sorry about this hassle. (Looks like it's the same issue as in #363 ; this was originally an issue on the Manning website but was fixed there; the issue still persists on the O'Reilly platform). I just pinged the publisher to let them know to also check the epub.

Yep looks the same. I did get the EPUB from the Manning site last week if it matters.

Thanks for the additional information. I emailed the layout team to look into this and hope they'll address it soon.

The publisher mentioned that they have updated the epubs and if you download the latest version from Manning, it should be fixed there.
