Re: [xsl] Ungready Flag on Regex

["Christophe Marchand cmarchand@xxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First, I've try to change all xsl:non-matching-substring TVT with 
xsl:sequence, and that was worst.

Then, I've changed only pt:replaceTextDollar xsl:non-matcing-substring 
TVT to a xsl:sequence, without success.

The problem was my test was not correctly written. I now have written 
all test cases, testing direct calls, nested calls, and so on. Thanks a 
lot, it now works.

@Martin : I apologize for being too quick, and not precise when applying 
your suggestion ; it was late, and the curfew news had a bad effect on me.

@Gerrit, nesting these markups have real use cases. For example, in a 
GIT course, if I want to explain the bisect's steps, I'll write someting 
like :

$ git bisect *start*
$ git bisect *bad*
$ git bisect *good*905d48bb
$ git bisect *run*run-xspec.sh
...
$ git bisect *reset*

So a $$\$ git bisect **start**$$ ...

Or, if I explain the merge-request process, I want to highlight the URL 
return by the server :

$ *git push origin issues/3*
C	numC)ration des objets: 37, fait.
DC)compte des objets: 100% (37/37), fait.

 B * [new branch]B B B B B  issues/3 -> issues/3

I'll probably never have a code or a bold nested inside a link, but maybe...

Be safe,
Christophe
