No, its a Regex version thing. Calibre uses Python's regex. That doesn't need the forward slash to be escaped. For others, such as PCRE, it will need to be escaped.

to try various regex things and see what they do. It's been a lot of help.

One thing to note, though, the replacement character they use there is a $ instead of the \ used in Calibre's editor. So, if you wanted to test davidfor's replacement string of:

Code:
\1 \2
there, you'd have to use:

Code:
$1 $2
Again, it is the regex version. You should choose Python under "Flavor" to test calibre regex's.
