# Interesting -- it actually works only *because* of the newline :-)
# With the newline, the .+ starts again on the second line (since .
# doesn't match a newline).  Without it, the greed of .+ consumes
# everything up to the second <\math>.

yes indeed. you're a great teacher.


# So if it's really on two lines, the non-greedy .+ isn't needed.  But
# it's probably a good idea anyway, as it will work in a larger number
# of cases.

yes, why does it have to be greedy by default... or is that life? :)
