One possible problem is that forward slash, "/", is used as the delimiter in
Template's regular expressions, preg_match("/regular expression/", $string),
at least in phplib 7.2c. You might try replacing those delimiters with
another character such as an accent character, "`".

Maybe I'm being shortsighted, but if template is just using a
preg_replace, isn't there any way to escape these characters?
