MatchTagsPlugin permits use of regular expressions (regexp) within tag
values, so that you can use things like 'wildcard' matching (e.g.,
use "foo.*" to match all tags that start with "foo").

The "$" is a special symbol used in regexp syntax to indicate "end of
text".  In order to treat the $ as a literal character, it needs to be
preceded by a backslash (e.g., "\$").  Fortunately, because you are
dynamically constructing the MatchTags expression via code, you can
apply the escapeRegExp() method to automatically add the backslashes
as needed:

"[tag[("+level1[g].title.escapeRegExp()+" AND NOT Done)]]"
