Thanks, Perry. That got me through that step.
Next little thing: I want to check if the initial heading tag might
*already* contain the "name" attribute. So with the point at the start
of that tag, I'd do something like this:
(re-search-forward
"name=\"\\|name[whitespace]=\"\\|name[whitespace]=[whitespace]\""
end-heading nil nil)
Is there a shortcut way in elisp to express any and all combinations of
whitespace...? if not, how to do this?
