 To use different tags for the template syntax, override **tmpl.regexp** with a modified regular expression, by exchanging all occurrences of "**\\{%**" and "**%\\}**", e.g. with "**\\[%**" and "**%\\]**":
 
 ```js
-tmpl.regexp = /(\s+)|('|\\)(?![^%]*%\])|(?:\[%(=|#)(.+?)%\])|(\[%)|(%\])/g;
+tmpl.regexp = /(\s+)|('|\\)(?![^%]*%\])|(?:\[%(=|#)([\s\S]+?)%\])|(\[%)|(%\])/g;
