In item 13, the example and first paragraph have been changed to |
:%s/\(.*[^&vis-space;][^&vis-space;]*\)&vis-space;&vis-space;*$/\1/
For each line, use \(.*[^&vis-space;][^&vis-space;]*\) to save
everything up to the final trailing spaces. This regular expression must
explicitly match at least one non-space ([^&vis-space;]) so that the
.* doesn't match everything on the line. Restore the saved text without
the spaces.
