Extract Section Headings for Book Outlines?

Question

Is there a good way to extract Section Headings to help create Book Outlines? I tried copy/paste from the Section Headings Checklist, but that didn’t seem to work very well. I also tried printing and then saving to HTML, but that was also not as helpful as I would have liked.

I realize some find/replace (regex?) may be required once we have a list.

Thank you,

SIL+LSS+PNG, I have found that doing a find using Regex:\s .+\r\n within Paratext’s find dialogue box itself gives you a good list of them in the found text window. You can then select all those lines and copy them to a text editor like Notepad++ and perform various Regex operations to generate the \io codes etc.
It is far from perfect/ideal, but works well enough.
