This module defines a number of functions useful for working with
-regular expressions (see built-in module \code{regex}).
+regular expressions (see built-in module \refmodule{regex}).
Warning: these functions are not thread-safe.
\strong{Obsolescence note:}
This module is obsolete as of Python version 1.5; it is still being
maintained because much existing code still uses it. All new code in
-need of regular expressions should use the new \module{re} module, which
+need of regular expressions should use the new \refmodule{re} module, which
supports the more powerful and regular Perl-style regular expressions.
Existing code should be converted. The standard library module
-\module{reconvert} helps in converting \code{regex} style regular
-expressions to \module{re} style regular expressions. (For more
+\module{reconvert} helps in converting \refmodule{regex} style regular
+expressions to \refmodule{re} style regular expressions. (For more
conversion help, see Andrew Kuchling's\index{Kuchling, Andrew}
