That's just about the most general way, but it means you are less likely to get stuck if your markup gets more complicated than originally thought. It's general enough to be handle nested constructs because Perl's REs are, in practice, much more powerful than REs should be. It's good to about nested construct (which I'd do by repeated scanning from the inside out) but it's there for those cases where nothing else will do. You might want to consider using one of the existing schemes (even f you have to extend it) like markdown. <snip> -- Ben.
