For sure, regex are strange to me, even if I think they are really usefull.
So, when a regex king give me the right regex to do exactly what I want,
I take this regex, and I adapt it to other similar use-cases.
My first problem was with comments, and I've adapted it to other kind of
markers :
**bold**
$$code$$
@@link@@
The first two are Ok, but I can not make it run for the third case.
I join the XSL, a XSpec file, I have one scenario that fails. If someone
could :
1. give me the solution
2. explain me why it was failing
3. explain me why the solution works
it would be really a good thing.
In France, we now have a curfew at 9pm. There a lot of beer that can not
be sold ; i may have a barrel for the guy who help me !
Best regards,
Christophe

Thinking of the brilliant potential for misunderstanding that this
answer entails.
Christophe: I don't understand why you are asking me whether I want
[^*]*.
Jokes aside, I think you need the non-greedy question mark modifier,
but not on [^*]*. You use it to make .* non-greedy. Otherwise it will
stop at the first '*' that it encounters.
This works:
<xsl:template name="xsl:initial-template">
<doc>
<xsl:analyze-string
select="'Comments are delimited by **/* */** or prefixed by
**//**'"
regex="\*\*(.*?)\*\*">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<b>
<xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)"/>
</b>
</xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:non-matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:non-matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
</doc>
</xsl:template>
