Unfortunately, the syntax of the group file is fixed.  Note that  
"..." works also but I think it has to be one line then.

You should only need to escape >> not << and not single angles.   
Inside of course, you can use $...$ for tags, which is perhaps what  
you want.  Change the default lexer using one of the STG methods and  
then load the templates I think...
