[Rivet] rivet-mkhtml only taking certain changes from .plot file

[Raghav Kunnawalkam Elayavalli]

Hi Andy, 

The plot's data file Z_mass.dat actually contains the old information that i gave in the JEWEL_ZpJet.plot under JEWEL_ZpJet/Z_mass. I rewrote the .plot file today but this plot (and one other amongst a total of 38 plots) somehow retained just the old title but the custom legend somehow managed to sneak through.   
with regards to the title of the histogram: 
in the old .plot file i had 
>> Title=JEWEL Z $\rightarrow \mu^{-} \mu^{+}$
and i changed it to 
>> Title=JEWEL+PYTHIA PbPb $\sqrt{s}=2.76$ TeV, Z+Jets
But the plot somehow still retained the old one which is whats weird. I dont have any other instances of Z_mass histogram in the .plot file. 

Im not sure i understand what you mean by globbing? 

Cheers
Raghav

Probably that still matches and works, but maybe a similar regex problem could be making something else override the /JEWEL_ZpJet/Z_mass values? Does the "what you had before" setting come after that in the .plot file, or match more closely?
