I would also be a little more careful with the regexps used to match the start and end tags: (let ((case-fold-search t) beg end level) (while (re-search-forward "]*>" nil t) (setq beg (match-beginning 0) level (string-to-int (match-string 1)) end (re-search-forward (format "" level) nil t))a (save-excursion (goto-char ...);; where the header should be inserted (insert (buffer-substring beg end) "\n")))) -- Kevin Rodgers
