Make clear that in "Nth > subexpression", N is one-based, not zero-based. I don't think that makes any sense. The wording is: `\N' means substitute what matched the Nth `\(...\)'. If Nth parens didn't match, substitute nothing. I can't see anybody interpreting Nth as having "zeroth" as a valid meaning. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/
