Another way would be to add ^\(\**\) at the beginning of the regex (and a \1 in the replacement) and go through the file as many times as there are nesting levels. You could also try Elisp as the replacement - see https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Regexp-Replace.html, https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/evaluating-lisp-forms-regular-expressions and http://mbork.pl/2013-09-18_Selective_replacement_in_LaTeX_documents_(en) . You could probably use keyboard macros, too - see e.g. http://mbork.pl/2021-02-20_Using_keyboard_macros_to_emulate_query_replace . Hth, -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl
