Test Post

[Daniel Goldman]

Please excuse this post. I just needed to test how GT
and LT symbols, in the context of regex, display in
google groups. Are they mangled by confusion with
HTML use? Couldn't find a google groups "sandbox". Who
knows, tests might find something useful for the group...

#1 - Using \bfoo\b syntax:

s:(.*)\bfoo\b(.*)\n(.*)\bbar\b(.*):\1FOO\2\n\3BAR\4:

#2 - Using \<  \> (BackSlash-LT BackSlash-GT) syntax:

s:(.*)\<foo\>(.*)\n(.*)\<bar\>(.*):\1FOO\2\n\3BAR\4:

#3 Using HTML entities for GT and LT:

s:(.*)\&lt;foo\&gt;(.*)\n(.*)\&lt;bar\&gt;(.*):\1FOO\2\n\3BAR\4:

#4 \<foo\> is foo surrounded by BackSlash-LT and BackSlash-GT.
#5 \&lt;foo\&gt; is same as #4, with HTML entities for LT and GT.

#6 &bull; is HTML bull entity. Displays as bullet or as literal?
#7 &nbsp; is HTML nbsp entity. Shows space or literal?

#8 < is LT all by it's lonesome.
#9 &lt; is also LT, but as HTML entity.

#10 > is GT all by it's lonesome.
#11 &gt; is also GT, but as HTML entity.

#12 \< is BackSlash-LT all by it's lonesome.
#13 \&lt; is also BackSlash-LT, but LT as HTML entity.

#14 \> is BackSlash-GT all by it's lonesome.
#15 \&gt; is also BackSlash-GT, but GT as HTML entity.

#16 <strong>Hi</strong> is Hi surrounded by "strong" tags.
#17 <i>Hello</i> is Hello surrounded by "italic" tags.

#18 <br> is HTML br tag. Shows as literal?
#19 <p> is HTML p tag. Shows as literal?
