Regex to change multiple lines

[Tim Chase]

Derp, sorry about the noise.  I mistook this message for a similar
dialog over on the Vim mailing list.

For Python, you want

  re.sub(r"%%(.*?)%%", r"<del>\1</del>", s, flags=re.S)

or put the flag inline

  re.sub(r"(?s)%%(.*?)%%", r"<del>\1</del>", s)

-tim
