But it only works with that particular text verbatim. I assumed
the OP wanted something to convert arbitrary lines of text into a
capitalized version of that text, followed by a lowercase version
of the text wherein the spaces were replaced with dashes. Thus
my initial suggestion of
%s/.*/\='['.toupper(submatch(0)).'](#'.substitute(tolower(submatch(0)),
' ', '-', 'g').')'
But this won't work with "Vaya con Dios: some extra texts...".
Yes, but that then becomes a matter of merely tweaking the
regular-expression to match the desired text. So if the OP
wanted the entire line to match, they could use ".*"; if they
wanted the literal "Vaya con Dios", they could use that literal;
if they wanted up to the first punctuation-mark, they could use
"^[^[:punct:]]*". The replacement expression does the right
thing in each case without needing to change it.
