regexp matches, but in some cases changes replace-match

[Gijs Hillenius]

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.

Doh.

Never mind. 

Re-read the function description and now noticed the word 'fixedcase'. 

so I should use

(replace-match "foo" t nil)
instead of 
(replace-match "foo" nil nil)
