* A regexp example was rendered asTim Peters2001-10-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | foo\d when it was clearly intended to render as foo$ Fred, is this a right way to fix it? If not, the earlier place in the same paragraph that does render as foo$ is also wrong.
* Plant a mention in the description of backreferences of the fact thatEric S. Raymond2001-08-281-1/+5
| | | | while \0 doesn't do what one might expect, \g<0> does.
* Add a caveat about boundary conditions and RE concatenation, so that theFred Drake2001-08-021-9/+12
| | | | | | | documents do not make an overly-strong assertion about the properties of RE concatenation. Add an example of RE{m,} syntax and what it will and will not match.
* Added an example of a string value for the replacement parameter toFred Drake2001-08-011-44/+60
| | | | | | | | | re.sub(). This closes SF bug #446136. Fixed description of RE modifiers so that RE{#} and RE{#,} are more clearly described and disambiguated (plain RE{#} had not been described at all). Reported by Jeremy Craven via email.
* Be more specific about corner cases in the description of the $ RE syntax,Fred Drake2001-07-231-4/+7
| | | | | | and include an example where the MULTILINE flag makes a real difference. This closes SF bug #441600.
* Fix return value for m.group() for groups not in the part of the RE thatFred Drake2001-07-121-42/+47
| | | | | | matched; reported by Paul Moore. Wrapped several long lines.
* Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these makeFred Drake2001-07-061-8/+10
| | | | | translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more difficult for non-native speakers.
* Suggestion from Keith Briggs: refer to RE objects consistently instead ofFred Drake2001-04-181-10/+9
| | | | introducing a new term ("regex") without defining it.
* Convert several \seetext references to \seerfc and \seetitle versions.Fred Drake2001-04-121-8/+9

* Made a number of revisions suggested by Fredrik Lundh.Fred Drake2000-10-061-12/+33

* Adjusted to use the new module synopsis support macros.Fred Drake1998-07-231-2/+4
|

| | | | groupdict() and findall().
* Fix unclear wording pointed out by Tim Peters, about the interaction betweenAndrew M. Kuchling1998-06-221-3/+5

| | | | | few things and adds docs for what happens to escapes in replacement strings.
* Cleaned up some remaining markup nits.Fred Drake1998-03-081-43/+37
| | | | | Andrew: In description of (?iLmsx), you say it matches the empty string and sets the corresponding flag. Is this correct? Or does it only set the flag?
* Logical markup.Fred Drake1998-02-191-57/+59
| | | | | Several uses of "\^" could be simplified; this fixes part of the info generation process.
* For the lists which describe the regular expression syntax, increase theFred Drake1998-02-161-4/+7
