Re: Regular Expression Question: How To Search For Section Titles

It does, just not inside a character class. If you wanted to match something 
from one of several character classes using `|', you would do something
like:
----------
[a-z]|[A-Z]|[...]
----------
But you can just spell out everything you want to match in a single character 
class, so I don't see that as particularly useful.
