Use text of regex match

You probably have to go to Boost::Regex documentation to find out all the details of the regex syntax used.
The $ isn't used by itself here. It is part of ${ 1 } which means the first capture group contents.
In my testing of exactly what I provided, [I] becomes <i> so I can't reproduce what you're saying.

Thank you! That works, although I'm not quite sure why, because I can't find \l or this use of $ in the documentation for Python's re class.

So this is not a Pythonscript question, but search for
(?i)\[([a-z])\]
and replace with
<\l${1}>

Hello, I was expecting this to be one of the most used cases, but I haven't been able to find anyone else doing it or asking about it.
I would like to replace text using that text. In this specific case, I would like to replace any letter surrounded with square brackets to a lowercased version of the same letter surrounded in triangle brackets (I'm converting BB markup to HTML).
eg. replace [b] with <b> and [I] with <i>. I have tried for 40 minutes but without success, as I cannot obtain the match's content.
Thanks!
