Re: Match <div and </div>

Ah, yes.  I forgot that the control codes need to be "escaped": they
need to be entered verbatim at the prompt.  But for some reason the
{verbatim} function does not work.  :/

What does work is a literal M-V (^[v, where ^[ is a literal escape).
So this works (tested):

   bind M-B "{replace}<div{enter}^[v^Q{enter}A
             {replace}</div{enter}^[v^R{enter}A
             {replace}<form{enter}^[v^S{enter}A
             {replace}</form{enter}^[v^T{enter}A
             {findbracket}
             {replace}^[v^T{enter}</form{enter}A
             {replace}^[v^S{enter}<form{enter}A
             {replace}^[v^R{enter}</div{enter}A
             {replace}^[v^Q{enter}<div{enter}A
             {left}{right}" main

(When using 'set matchbrackets "(<[{«^Q^S)>]}»^R^T"', of course.)

Of course, the above is majorly ugly -- it's better to use some
normal, printable characters that you don't use in the documents.
