Be sure to have a copy in case something goes wrong; and diff(1) a few
files afterwards to make sure that the result is as you intended.
Having done that (or similar), don't forget to change the relevant
</span> closing tags to </sup> closing tags. However, there may be
other </span> closing tags you don't want to change because they close
other <span> tags we haven't seen.
Chuckle ;} The appropriate "</span>" to be replaced by "</sup>" is
ALWAYS preceded by "#160;" .
So you may prefer to use regexes as
Murphy intended, handling both the opening and closing tags at the same
time, leaving the intervening text intact.
In this particular case I suspect it would become overly complex.
I've already discovered that the order of edits is important.
