Short version: is there a text editor or other program that has similar functionality to Notepad's "replace" only it detects either linebreaks or the start of paragraphs? Long version: a friend of mine is transcribing a series of books using OCR software and a text editor and wants to upload the resultant text as static HTML pages. At the start of each paragraph then there needs to be a tag, otherwise outside of using something like the <pre> tags the text will lack any paragraph formatting. Notepad has a command called "replace" which is handy for this sort of thing and was the first thing that came to mind, but as far as I know it can't be used to insert a set of characters at the start of new paragraphs. If there are any clever tricks using divs/css/tables/javascript for this kind of thing that's welcome too.

Any text editor with regular expression (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) support should do the trick. Personally, I use vim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vim_(text_editor)), but it has pretty unusual key bindings.
