How would I incorporate a modifier here, like “M”? I read about modifiers to go into “multi-line” mode? I’m wanting to skip a new line anywhere it may be in the search.

content= re.sub(r'(title href="#_ftnref\d+"><span lang="en-us">)(.{1,4}<)',r'\1xyz<',content)

    Your regex should be compiled this way:

    myregex = re.compile('regex-pattern', re.IGNORECASE | re.MULTILINE);
myregex.sub(replacement, target[, count = 0]);

    More to the point:

    myregex = re.compile('(title href="#_ftnref\d+"><span lang="en-us">)(.{1,4}<)', re.IGNORECASE | re.MULTILINE);
myregex.sub('\1xyz<', content);

    see here for more details.
