Thanks - I'm using Org 9.3.6 and I'm getting no matches when using emacs -q
I had some other issues w/regexes and Bastien fixed them in "maint":
https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/commit/c0d08b7efe740c17a3eec28984161c05e43da5ef
Is it relatively easy to try org-mode's "maint" version (e.g. just check
out branch from
https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode ?) I'll try using the "maint"
version to see what's up.
Thanks,
