[sword-devel] What is wrong with my regexes? Help appreciated

[David Haslam]

Try toggling your text editor to Show All Characters? (including EOL
markers).

Sometimes hidden characters can be the root cause of the unexpected
behaviour of pattern matching.

Non-standard EOL markers caught me out once or twice.
