Subject: [9fans] regexp to match paragraphs in troff documents
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 7a85654c-ead2-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Moin,

I've tried to pipe paragraphs of a troff document to fmt but I
have problems with the correct regular expression. My first attempt
"/^\.[A-Z]++.*\n(^[^]*)*\n^\.[A-Z]++.*\n/" matches only any second
paragraph because the expression is overlapping. Does anyone have a nice
idea to match troff parapgraphs?

Many thanks
Matthias
