It's in a dictionary note.  However the note is not very clear.  What it
means is that if you are using matchtext with a character that is a regex
special character of some sort like "$" or "+" and you want it to be
matched, you have to preceed it with a backslash.  But that's just normal
regex syntax so not sure why the note is there at all.

Good web site Kay, I've always used a local program on my Mac in the past
but that works better.
