    <!-- The functx:escape-for-regex function escapes a string that you wish to be taken 
         literally rather than treated like a regular expression. This is useful when, 
         for example, you are calling the built-in fn:replace function and you want any 
         periods or parentheses to be treated like literal characters rather than regex 
         special characters.
