I have auto-generated xml and I want to convert it to latex, so I do
(goto-char 1) 
and a lot of 
(save-excursion
  (while (search-forward "<foo>" nil t)
    (replace-match "\\foo[bar]{baz}" nil t))
  )

(save-excursion
  (while (re-search-forward "<foobar>\\(.*\\)</foobar>" nil t)
    (replace-match "\\\\foobar{\\1}" nil nil))
  )

At the end I did several replaces of multiple spaces, end of line
spaces, and so on.

If I open the xml in a running emacs it works fine, but if I did it
with a batch it part of the tex disappeared in the output. 

The I decided to move the cleanup of multiple spaces and so on to the
beginning of the code and it runs fine.

Is this to be expected?
