Hi Alexander,
your change looks good. It's OK to have manual corrections for automated
mega-changes like this, as long as they all revert changes.
Random comments:
Should you publish your specdiff? I guess not - it would be empty!
while((s = br.readLine()) != null) {
by matching only one line at a time, you lose the ability to make
replacements that span lines. Perlers like to "slurp" in the entire file
as a single string.
s = s.replace( "<CODE>", tag1);
s = s.replace( "<Code>", tag1);
s = s.replace("</CODE>", tag2);
s = s.replace("</Code>", tag2);
Why not use case-insensitive regex?
Here's an emacs-lisp one-liner I've been known to use:
(defun tt-code ()
(interactive)
(query-replace-regexp "<\\(tt\\|code\\)>\\([^&<>\\\\]+\\)</\\1>" "{@code
\\2}"))
With more work, one can automate transformation of embedded things like <
But of course, it's not even possible to transform ALL uses of <code> to
{@code, if there was imaginative use of nested html tags.
