I have a string ABCDEFGH and want to highlight two overlapping hits BCDE and DEFG in HTML to make A<b>BC<i>DE</b>FG</i>HThe obvious $string =~ s{(BCDE|DEFG)}{<b>$1</b>}g; does not work as the modified string doesn't match the second query and I don't get differnet
fonts for each overlapping match. Is there a conventional way of doing this? -- Michael
