I have no idea what the real thing is, but you will find some information on
replacing tags in the article "Finding and replacing characters using
wildcards" at:

if so, then:
could be this format and could be that format.
I don't know. However:
 = start of paragraph.
 = end of paragraph
 = start of underline.
 = end of underline.
 = start of italic.
 = end of italic.
<SPA 5> could be 5 spaces.
<SZ 13) ?

 doesn't make sense to me.
Only X would do.
