463013 - simpleparse is unfriendly to code that really needs to match beginning of line (=head)

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Webtools Graveyard :: MXR, defect)

Description

[timeless]

888                 $frag =~ s#(=head.\s+([^\s(]*)(?:([(]).*?([)])|))#<a name="$2$3$4">$1</a>#g;

simpleparse reaches =head, and since it's only looking at that portion of the string (=head...), it thinks it's at the beginning of a line and handles it has a comment block start,

mxr is gone, mass closing.
https://searchfox.org/ is a much better alternative.
