Sorry, can't reproduce hanging the script:

[hazzik]

I'm able to reproduce this constantly. Thee are several conditions:

• ?? shall be at the beginning of a line
• It shall be not at the end of the file

[hazzik]

Easiest way to reproduce is

1. Open http://j2m.fokkezb.nl/
2. On line 15 select "citation??" (without first ??")
3. Press "delete"/"backspace"

I can constantly reproduce this in latest Chrome and Firefox on Windows 10 and MacOS and on node 8.7 It does not hang in Safari and Mobile Safari

Yep, with that I can reproduce, so it seems the issue is related to other stuff in the editor as well.

Unfortunately it indeed hangs, with no logs to aid debugging it further.

I'm also kind of iceboxing this project. If you have time to dig in and send a PR that would be appreciated.

The culprit is at regex which parses the citation.
