First, $ represents end of file, not end of line, so use whatever
literal linebreak your system or setup uses.
Second, backreferences are done using backslashes instead of dollar

Finally, the regex you wrote (if it worked) would add the option tags to
every line in the file. I'm not sure if that was your intent.
