Hi. Recently someone noted that the recutils manual does not document the flavor of the regular expressions accepted in selection expressions and field type declarations.
I am using regcomp/regexec to implement those facilities, and have the regex module imported from gnulib. I think it would be nice to make the regex module to import a texinfo file documenting the supported regular expressions syntax (I guess the POSIX BREs and EREs). Something that could be directly included in a manual. Quite like the parse-datetime.texi file imported by the parse-datetime module. There is a file doc/regex.texi containing several chapters about the GNU regex implementation. We could get the "Regular Expression Syntax" chapter in its own file regex-syntax.texi, and have that file imported into doc/ as part of the regex module. What do you think? -- Jose E.
