Hmm, sorry I don't know what I did the first time. I pasted the code
(removing the annotation) and executed it. I got an "unterminated
dollar quote" error. I changed them to '$$' and then it worked. I must
have had some other stray change that I missed.

For the record, here is the dollar quote format - alphanumeric plus
underscore.

dolq_start [A-Za-z\200-\377_]
dolq_cont [A-Za-z\200-\377_0-9]
dolqdelim \$({dolq_start}{dolq_cont}*)?\$
dolqinside [^$]+
