If the $ of a tag ends the current format item then I don't get how a format item can contain one or more tags since wouldn't the $ preceding the second tag terminate the first format item and effectively start a new one?

See the new text in the Tag formatting section. You need at least one ^ character in a format item except to the final format item. Because the $ follows a ^, it starts a new format item.

Correct. The prefix and suffix enclose the complete format item (if the format item has a non-null value).
