Éric Araujo added the comment: Looks good, builds without warnings. Note that you can use :ref:`re-syntax` and Sphinx will substitute the heading for you. The :role:`some special text ` form is used when you want to control the text of the link. (That thing is called an hyperlink target: h

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I applied patch to 3.2, 3.1 in r87904, r87905. Thanks. I had to re-edit for 2.7: r87909. I made a separate small patch for my suggested addition to Matching Characters. Could someone check that it is correct, given that re.rst contains the target directive (o

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Since I think I know how to do it, easily, I will try to derive the 2.7 patch. In Matching Characters, I think "The following predefined special sequences are available:" should be expanded to "The following predefined special sequences are a subset of those

SilentGhost added the comment: I don't know whether it would be easy to strip down py3k version to 2.7 version. Seeing how it's just a basic introduction, I would think that a single statement re unicode support might be sufficient. For exhaustive description of special sequences refer the do

SilentGhost added the comment: It seems that the special sequences description in Matching Characters section need to be updated to incorporate information on unicode and bytes. I don't think, however, that it's a good idea just to copy that information from the Doc/library/re.rst May be the

Éric Araujo added the comment: Good points overall. The only subpoint I disagree with is this one: “Add the url '(http://kodos.sourceforge.net/)' to the text so that Windows help users can copy and paste it into a browser. (This should be a general policy.)” IMO, it’s the job of the Sphinx
