I eventually found some hints to the syntax in the RewriteRule section of the web site and in the source tree I found regex.7.
Since so many rules allow regular expresssions, it would be very helpful if there one section giving the full syntax. Examples would also be good for those who are not familiar with regular expressions. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Take the regex hints from the RewriteRule section and make it a separate page. Expand it to be more complete and add some examples. Change all the the mentions of regex to be links to this page >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
