Question(s) about Visual Filters
Is it possible to set up a visual filter only for a phrase? For example, if I create a VF for the phrase "due to", I don't want it to highlight instances of "due" or "to", but only "due to" - is this possible?
(I had another question about visual filters but it has completely slipped my mind (🫢😄). I'll come back here to ask when (if?) I remember.)

It should be exactly like you put it in your question. "Due to" in quotation marks should only find the phrase. Are you seeing something different?

I have a VF that highlights wiggle logic. I put phrases in double-quotes. The VF doesn't break into the phrase. But I haven't tested alternatives (eg single quotes, etc).
My wiggle-word VF has maybe 60-70 literary devices.

Thanks for confirming. I did try it this way but I saw no change in the open book I was testing on, and I concluded it wasn't working. But now I tried again and it is working; maybe I didn't wait long enough for the change to take effect 😳

I actually got the idea from you but I was too bashful (😛) to ask if you were willing to share your list, so I started my VF with some words/phrases that came to mind. I'm nowhere near 60+ but I'll add as I go along.

Good luck! After I 'kept adding' it became like a visual painting of an author's method(s).

Now if only we could build a filter for the words apologists imagine are in the text but simply are not there …😎

There does seem to be a common lingua franca to the 'apological trade' (forum app thinks I made that word up). A high mix of negative assignments carefully repeated is one (thinking of greek apologists, of course).
