Subject: regexp matches, but in some cases changes replace-match
Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2012 12:13:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <874nnxc1n0.fsf@hillenius.net> (raw)
I use the following function to put some basic html tags in a text. The
regexp matches all subheadings.
,----
| (defun subheading ()
| (interactive) ;; interactive for testing purpose
| (while (re-search-forward ".*[a-zA-Z':][\n]" nil t) (replace-match "<br />\n<strong>\\&</strong><br />" nil nil)))
`----
What I don't understand: when the subheading is a single word, the
replace-match changes to "<Br />\n<Strong>\\&</Strong><Br />" (the tags
get capitals). My regexp is, somehow, inprecise.
