Subject: 29.2; Woman + grep fails
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2024 13:54:16 +0000

To reproduce:

M-x woman RET grep RET

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (search-failed "\\(\\\\{\\|el[ \11]*\\\\}\\)\\|\\(\n[.']\\)?[ \11]*\\\\}[ \11]*")
  re-search-forward("\\(\\\\{\\|el[ \11]*\\\\}\\)\\|\\(\n[.']\\)?[ \11]*\\\\}[ \11]*")
  (and (re-search-forward "\\(\\\\{\\|el[ \11]*\\\\}\\)\\|\\(\n[.']\\)?[ \11]*\\\\}[ \11]*") (match-beginning 1))
  (while (and (re-search-forward "\\(\\\\{\\|el[ \11]*\\\\}\\)\\|\\(\n[.']\\)?[ \11]*\\\\}[ \11]*") (match-beginning 1)) (re-search-forward "\\\\}"))
  (let ((from (point))) (woman-delete-match 0) (while (and (re-search-forward "\\(\\\\{\\|el[ \11]*\\\\}\\)\\|\\(\n[.']\\)?[ \11]*\\\\}[ \11]*") (match-beginning 1)) (re-search-forward "\\\\}")) (delete-region (if delete from (match-beginning 0)) (point)) (if (looking-at "^$") (delete-char 1)))
  (cond ((looking-at "[^{\n]*\\(\\\\\n\\)*\\\\{\\s *\\(\\\\\n\\)*") (let ((from (point))) (woman-delete-match 0) (while (and (re-search-forward "\\(\\\\{\\|el[ \11]*\\\\}\\)\\|\\(\n[.']\\)?[ \11]*\\\\}[ \11]*") (match-beginning 1)) (re-search-forward "\\\\}")) (delete-region (if delete from (match-beginning 0)) (point)) (if (looking-at "^$") (delete-char 1)))) (delete (woman-delete-line 1)))
  (let ((from (point))) (if to (delete-region (point) to)) (delete-horizontal-space) (cond ((looking-at "[^{\n]*\\(\\\\\n\\)*\\\\{\\s *\\(\\\\\n\\)*") (let ((from (point))) (woman-delete-match 0) (while (and (re-search-forward "\\(\\\\{\\|el[ \11]*\\\\}\\)\\|\\(\n[.']\\)?[ \11]*\\\\}[ \11]*") (match-beginning 1)) (re-search-forward "\\\\}")) (delete-region (if delete from (match-beginning 0)) (point)) (if (looking-at "^$") (delete-char 1)))) (delete (woman-delete-line 1))) (cond ((string= request "ie") (cond ((re-search-forward "^[.'][ \11]*el[ \11]*" nil t) (woman-delete-match 0) (woman-if-body "el" nil (not delete)))))) (goto-char from))
  woman-if-body("ie" #<marker (moves after insertion) at 29338 in *WoMan 1 grep*> t)
[...]

I could reproduce also on Emacs-30.0.50

Calling re-search-forward with the NOERROR arg in the while loop of
woman-if-body seems to fix the problem:
