to get regular expressions to match the font change sequences in *roff input (e.g. \fB for bold, \fP to revert to previous font). The re library maps r'\f' to the single form-feed character (as it does other common single-character sequences like r'\n').
I think all you need is an extra \ to escape the \ character in \f
This does not work in puthon: s = re.sub(r'\f[1NR]', '</emphasis>, sinput)
Try s = re.sub(r'\\f[1NR]', '</emphasis>, sinput) HTH, -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
