"Custom formats for individual tags.
-This gives a list that maps from tag names to lists of formatting
-expressions. The car of each element gives a tag name and the
-cdr gives a list of Elisp expressions that modify the tag. If
-the list is empty, the tag will simply be hidden. Otherwise,
-each expression will be evaluated in order: for the first
-expression, the variable `tag' will be bound to the tag name; for
-each later expression, the variable `tag' will be bound to the
-result of the previous expression. In this way, each expression

-The result of the last expression will displayed in place of the

+This is an association list that maps from tag name regexps to
+lists of formatting expressions. The first entry whose car
+regexp-matches a tag will be used to format that tag. The regexp
+is implicitly anchored, so to match a literal tag name, just use
+that tag name (if it contains special regexp characters like
+\".\" or \"*\", these have to be escaped). The cdr of the
+matching entry gives a list of Elisp expressions that modify the
+tag. If the list is empty, the tag will simply be hidden.
+Otherwise, each expression will be evaluated in order: for the

+expression can build on the formatting performed by the previous
+expression. The result of the last expression will displayed in
+place of the tag.
For example, to replace a tag with another string, simply use
that string as a formatting expression. To change the foreground
