<h1>CodeMirror PCRE mode</h1>
<p>
This is a <a href="https://codemirror.net/">CodeMirror</a> mode that brings
syntax highlighting for <a href="https://www.pcre.org/">Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE)</a>.
</p>
<p>
<strong>MIME types defined:</strong>
<ul>
<li>text/x-regex</li>
<li>text/x-pcre-regex</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Options:</strong>
<ul>
<li>extended: boolean: initial state of the 'x' flag; default: true.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Table of contents:</strong>
<ul>
<li><a href="#h2nested">Use as nested mode</a>
<li><a href="#h2pcresyntax">man pcresyntax</a>
<li><a href="#h2pcrepattern">Examples from man pcrepattern</a>
<li><a href="#h2details">Other details</a>
</ul>
</p>
<h2 id="h2nested">Use as nested mode</h2>
<p>
Below are demonstrations of how the PCRE mode can be used to highlight regular expressions within other languages.
This first example is an nginx configuration snippet:
</p>
<textarea id="nested-nginx">
server {
location ~ "(?x) # Enable PCRE extended mode
^
/user
/(?<action>login|logout|profile) # Also include 'profile' because...
/(?<tail>.*)
"
{
if ($tail ~ "^(some|[^/]+/really|compl(?:ex|icated)|stuff|t?here)$") {
return 307 "${scheme}://${host}/somewhere/else/${tail}${is_args}${args}";
}
# ...
}
}</textarea>
<p>This second example is a simple list of one-line regexes with comments:</p>
<textarea id="nested-regex-list">
# This is a comment about this first regex:
^hello
# This is another comment, this time with leading spaces:
(?i)this is (?<what>a regex ) # not a comment
^(?:good|bye )bye$</textarea>
<h2 id="h2pcresyntax">man pcresyntax</h2>
<p>
This is a slightly adjusted copy of `man pcresyntax`. This man page reflects most PCRE syntactic structures in a
colourful way thanks to CodeMirror and the PCRE mode.

# NAME
# PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
#
# PCRE REGULAR EXPRESSION SYNTAX SUMMARY
#
# The full syntax and semantics of the regular expressions that are supported by PCRE are described in the
# pcrepattern documentation. This document contains a quick-reference summary of the syntax.
#
# QUOTING
\x where x is non-alphanumeric is a literal x
\Q...\E treat enclosed characters as literal
# CHARACTERS
\a # alarm, that is, the BEL character (hex 07)
\cx # "control-x", where x is any ASCII character
\e # escape (hex 1B)
\f # form feed (hex 0C)
\n # newline (hex 0A)
\r # carriage return (hex 0D)
\t # tab (hex 09)
\077 # character with octal code 0dd
\777 # character with octal code ddd, or backreference
\o{777} # character with octal code ddd..
\xff # character with hex code hh
\x{fffe} # character with hex code hhh..
# Note that \0dd is always an octal code, and that \8 and \9 are the literal characters "8" and "9".
#
# CHARACTER TYPES
. # any character except newline;
# in dotall mode, any character whatsoever
\C # one data unit, even in UTF mode (best avoided)
\d # a decimal digit
\D # a character that is not a decimal digit
\h # a horizontal white space character
\H # a character that is not a horizontal white space character
\N # a character that is not a newline
\p{Pi} # a character with the xx property
\P{Pi} # a character without the xx property
\R # a newline sequence
\s # a white space character
\S # a character that is not a white space character
\v # a vertical white space character
\V # a character that is not a vertical white space character
\w # a "word" character
\W # a "non-word" character
\X # a Unicode extended grapheme cluster
# By default, \d, \s, and \w match only ASCII characters, even in UTF-8 mode or in the 16- bit and 32-bit li‐
# braries. However, if locale-specific matching is happening, \s and \w may also match characters with code
# points in the range 128-255. If the PCRE_UCP option is set, the behaviour of these escape sequences is changed
# to use Unicode properties and they match many more characters.

# changed at release 8.34.

`man pcrepattern` is much longer than `man pcresyntax`, which is why only its examples were reproduced below.
