* Hello there,
* I want to use this plugin to style specific words with CSS. For example, I let
it replace ‘word’ with ‘word’.
* The Problem is: The plugin replaces the word in the header too, so if the page
contains the word the title, it produces forbidden tag within
and other meta tags.
* Is there a possibility to fix this problem?
* Best regards,
Andreas

* Expand the Find portion to limit what is matched. For example, ensure that there
is a certain HTML tag included in the matching portion so that only the occurrence
you want to replace is replaced. Chances are you’ll need to use the RegEx option
so you can do advanced matching.

* Thanks for your answer, unfortenately it doesn’t help.
* Example: If I want to apply CSS to a special character (i.e. colorize all exclamation
marks red) without using client-side JavaScript, I would use your plugin to search
all ‘!’ and replace it with ‘!’ but this will happen
also to the head and produces an error, if the contains an ‘!’.
* Maybe you have a better idea to realize something like that?

* You’d probably be better off looking into how to modify the output of the the_content
function in your theme.
