For sure, regex are strange to me, even if I think they are really usefull. So, when a regex king give me the right regex to do exactly what I want, I take this regex, and I adapt it to other similar use-cases. My first problem was with comments, and I've adapted it to other kind of markers : **bold** $$code$$ @@link@@ The first two are Ok, but I can not make it run for the third case. I join the XSL, a XSpec file, I have one scenario that fails. If someone could : 1. give me the solution 2. explain me why it was failing 3. explain me why the solution works it would be really a good thing. In France, we now have a curfew at 9pm. There a lot of beer that can not be sold ; i may have a barrel for the guy who help me !
