What | What you want to do is to turn a block of text that looks like this:<blockquote><poem><nowiki> | ||
| align=center | 502 | | align=center | 502 | ||
| [[Opiter Verginius Tricostus (consul 502 BC)|Opet. Verginius Tricostus]] | | [[Opiter Verginius Tricostus (consul 502 BC)|Opet. Verginius Tricostus]] | ||

You can do it manually, but the problem is that there is almost 500 years worth of Roman consuls (I only did consuls of Roman Republic). | |||
Regular expressions allowed me to find every such block of text and do the needed replacements automatically. In this particular case I created the final syntax right in the text editor without using Parser at all. But a lot of times I use the text editor to prepare the text for the Parser. It all depends on the situation. | Regular expressions allowed me to find every such block of text and do the needed replacements automatically.
