While Jürgen answers your general question, for your particular
example, you may also want to know about the \l \L \u \U \e
tokens in a replacement:
%s/<description>\zs\w\+\ze<\/description>/\L&/g
or
%s@<description>\(\w\+\)</description>@<description>\L&\e</description>@g
(don't forget to escape the "/" in the closing tag unless you use
alternate delimiters like "@" in trhe 2nd example)
You can read about them at
