I've volunteered to help get GNU regex documentation into gnulib. Bruno Haible pointed me here because of one of my suggestions which potentially affects findutils. I wrote:
"in regexprops-generic.texi, I think that having a plain English definition of the various syntaxes obscures the fact that each is defined as a strict combination of features. Would you be happy if I rewrote the manual as English documentation of each feature plus a simple list (possibly automatically generated from regex.h) of which features are present in which syntax?" I understand from Bruno & Karl Berry that you use a version of regexprops.texi, so I was wondering what you thought. If you have strong feelings against my approach, I'd be interested to hear, and if you agree, I'd be keen to see if I can get a version you can use into gnulib so that it's not necessary to maintain two copies of the same documentation. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
