[oXygen-user] Search and Replace with regular expression

[Gerrit Imsieke]

In order to avoid searching across multiple terms/lines, you can also exclude the closing brace from the regex groups (probably escaped): ([^\}>]+?)
If the TeX code within the terms contains curly braces, it’s probably time to use a real parser instead of regexes, maybe as part of a conversion tool such as latexml (http://dlmf.nist.gov/LaTeXML/) plus custom XSLT.
