Once this is used, you will be able to re-display this with fresh results by just tapping [Find] > [Bookmarks] or an independent [Bookmarks] icon from the Toolbar, unless you get the regular "Bookmarks" back.

This auxiliary option enables you to use another function like sharable bookmarks aside from the regular bookmarks. That is what can keep something like bookmarks even while sharing text files between a Mac, PC, other devices, or Dropbox or Evernote.

This can search for all of what the regular search can search for. Then it looks for all occurrences of the search expression in the current text and then displays a list of results containing the searched strings, like the "Search All". Not only viewing a searched text, you can rewrite and edit any text including a response to the search while searching.

What makes this different from those regular Toolbar actions of the "Search All" and the "Bookmarks" is the following.

A. These two things specified here are memorized separately for the exclusive use of the "Bookmarks".

1. The character strings you last searched
- the word or phrase, or the conditional expression you typed to search for
2. The "Search Options" you last specified

B. Once the "Bookmarks/Search All" is used, tapping these two Toolbar actions will switch to displaying a list of pre-re-searched results in the "Bookmarks/Search All" directly, from displaying the regular "Bookmarks".

1. [Find] > [Bookmarks]
2. An independent [Bookmarks] icon (Only on iPad or in landscape view in iPhone)

* These differences will remain unless you get the regular "Bookmarks" back. And which allows you to call a list of re-searched results by the pre-specified conditions in the "Bookmarks/Search All" every time quickly, and view any searched text repeatedly. This is what makes the "Bookmarks/Search All" 'another function like bookmarks'.

C. Regular bookmarks you added are not included in a Plain Text file. As equally, they are not saved on any server including of neither Dropbox nor Evernote. In contrast, using the "Bookmarks/Search All" keeps something like sharable bookmarks in any sharing text file and on any server, and lists them in iText Pad quickly.

* If you want to share text files including something like bookmarks between a Mac, PC, other devices, Dropbox, or Evernote, use the "Bookmarks/Search All" together with or instead of the regular "Bookmarks".

D. The "Bookmarks/Search All" is more flexible than the regular "Bookmarks". Because it has a wide potential of searching including identifying keys you demand. You can try to narrow subjects down, or alternate between one bookmarks and another one such as a table of contents, according to the situation. Any of you will like this strength. Make good use of this.

To bookmark a text aside from the regular bookmarks ;

Before using this as a function like bookmarks, you need to prepare something like bookmarks that are aimed at this function in a text. First, just read this over once. Then plan ahead, and you will not be lost.

1. Tap [Back] at either the upper-left /or bottom-left corner of the screen to go back the regular text editing.

2. Then insert any word or phrase which can be a name of the whole bookmarks or each bookmark or a certain subject - such as "<BOOKMARKS>", "<BOOKMARK1>", or "<FAVORITES>", to all specific texts those are aimed at you want to bookmark in the Write mode.

* If you want simply to list all bookmarks, you can insert only one same name - such as "<BOOKMARKS>" to every specific text.

* You can insert several words - such as "<BOOKMARK1>", "<BOOKMARK2>", "<BOOKMARK3>", as required. If you want to list each bookmark or a certain subject individually, you can insert each different name - such as "<BOOKMARK1>" or "<FAVORITES>" to each specific text.

* If you classify those names according to a purpose, it can be easier to use. A list under the name's will be available.
- such as 'what you want to list with this function' are '<BOOKMARKS> between <CONTENTS> alternately', or '<FAVORITES> and/or <HEADLINES> by the category'.

* If the text file contains such word or phrase originally, or contains any conditional expression which can be specified as a bookmark name - such as "Chapter", you can omit this.

- Tips ;
If you want to make this same as the regular bookmarks, you can insert "<BOOKMARKS/each bookmark name you added>" to each specific text.
Then, you will be able to list them like the regular bookmarks with the Regular Expression "<BOOKMARKS/.+>".

* Like this, you can make a name hierarchically, providing you use the Regular Expression when searching. A list of the upper name mentions will be available.

Once the preparation is done, you can begin searching in the "Bookmarks/Search All".

3. Just tap [Find] > [Bookmarks] or an independent [Bookmarks] icon from the Toolbar.
It will return to this "Bookmarks/Search All".

To use this as a function like bookmarks ;

1. Tap the search bar and type the word or phrase you have inserted - such as "<BOOKMARKS>", "<CONTENTS>", "<BOOKMARK1>", or "<FAVORITES>", then tap [Search].

iText Pad searches for all occurrences of the inserted word or phrase, or the specified conditional expression in the current text at once and displays a list of searched results like bookmarks. Unless it searches for anything, it will respond "0".

* By tapping [x] at the right side in the search bar, you can clear all the text in it.
* By tapping [Done] on the onscreen keyboard, you can just hide the keyboard.
* By tapping the [Bookmarks] icon at the right side in the search bar, you can set the "Search Options". If it does not appear, tapping [x] makes it appear.

* If you want to search for a text with the conditional expressions, you can also use the Regular Expression.
- Turn the Regular Expression ON in the "Search Options" and tap [Back], and then type.

- Examples ; 'what you want to list here' are A-F

A. '<BOOKMARKS> and/or <CONTENTS>' = <BOOKMARKS>|<CONTENTS>
B. '<BOOKMARK1> and/or <HEADLINES> and/or <FAVORITES>' = <BOOKMARK1>|<HEADLINES>|<FAVORITES>
C. 'Chapter 1 to Chapter 5' = Chapter (1|2|3|4|5) or Chapter [1-5]
D. '<BOOKMARK1> to <BOOKMARKX>', and/or 'Chapter 1 to Chapter X ' = <BOOKMARK[0-9]+>|<Chapter [0-9]+>

E. 'all of <BOOKMARKS/each bookmark name>' = <BOOKMARKS/.+>
F. 'all of BOOKMARK mentions ; <BOOKMARKS> and/or <BOOKMARKX> and/or <BOOKMARKS/each bookmark name>' = <BOOKMARK.+>

2. To view a searched text, tap the result you want to see in the search result list.

* You will see the line number at each right edge.
* The page number appears instead, providing that the current page layout is "Show Page Size".
* You can rewrite and edit any text including a response to the search.

* Thereafter, every time by only tapping [Find] > [Bookmarks] or an independent [Bookmarks] icon from the Toolbar, you will be able to call each fresh list of re-searched results by the same pre-specified conditions in the "Bookmarks/Search All". It will remain unless you get the regular "Bookmarks" back, and you will be able to repeat this.

* You can search all again for another expression or with other conditions as well. If you have inserted several words - such as "<HEADLINES>" and "<FAVORITES>" and want to search them individually, or want to use several conditional expressions, you can store each of them in the clipboard with the "Search Options" too.

To search for all occurrences again ;
Tap the search bar and type the word or phrase you want to search for, then tap [Search].
To exit the "Bookmarks/Search All" and get the regular "Bookmarks" back, tap [Bookmarks].

6. Handy Tips

6.1. What file formats can I open in iText Pad ?

You can open the following 3 files in iText Pad.

Plain Text file (.txt)
ePub file (.epub)
zip file (.zip) - Compressed from .txt and .epub

6.1.1. Let me show you more about a Plain Text File

iText Pad saves your text as a Plain Text file. Files have the extension .txt.

In computing, Plain Text is the contents of an ordinary sequential file readable as textual material without much processing, usually opposed to formatted text. Plain text files can be opened, read, and edited with most text applications.
See more > How can I exchange iText Pad files between a Mac, PC, or other devices ?

In Plain Text, there are several character encodings and control codes that depend on what language or OS it uses.

For the character encodings, iText Pad encodes the text file in ASCII/ShiftJIS as the standard. Providing that it includes the Unicode compatibility characters, such as characters with diacritic marks, or Japanese extended Kanji-characters of the "level 3 or 4 Kanji set", iText Pad creates the text file in UTF-8 character encoding. If you want to save all the files in UTF-8 character encoding to keep file-compatibility with other devices, you can do it with "Encoding" in [Settings].

Examples of the Unicode compatibility characters ;
* Precomposed diacritic letters, such as accented, Umlautzeichen, trema, etc.
* International Phonetic Alphabet
* Ligatures in the Latin
* Precomposed Roman numerals or fractions
* Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols
* Enclosed or Circled alphanumerics and ideographs
* Japanese extended Kanji-characters of the "level 3 or 4 Kanji set", emphasis dots, or decorated characters

To distinguish the character encodings of the file between ASCII/ShiftJIS and UTF-8, you can use "Show Unicode Red" in [Settings].

For the New Line codes, iText Pad uses the LF (LINE FEED/code number:000A) that is standard on Mac OSX and iOS - for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

With "Return Code" in [Settings], you can change the New Line code to CR+LF or CR.
* CR+LF (CARRIAGE RETURN + LINE FEED/code number:000D+000A), standard on Windows.
* CR (CARRIAGE RETURN /code number:000D), standard on Classic Mac OS.

If you exchange files between a Mac, PC, or other devices frequently, and want to keep the file-compatibility, you can save all the files remaining their character encodings and New Line codes as you opened each file, with "Save with Opened Type" in [Settings].

6.1.2. How can I preview epub eBooks ?

With iText Pad, you can preview a variety of .epub eBooks, in text.

ePub (short for electronic publication; alternately capitalized as EPUB, EPub, or epub) is a free and open e-book standard, by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). Files have the extension .epub. ePub became the official standard of the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) in September 2007, superseding the older Open eBook standard.

You can download over a million public domain books in the Open ePub Format from many websites around the world, including Google Books, and the Apple iBook Store.

When you open an .epub file in iText Pad, iText Pad automatically changes it into a text file including bookmarks. See more > How can I exchange iText Pad files between a Mac, PC, or other devices ?

Note that, iText Pad must be sure that the file you are going to open is indeed out of copyright under laws. Due to copyright restrictions, iText Pad can read only the standard non-DRM ePub files, so can not read the commercial DRM-protected[1] ePub files and non-public domain files.
