No, it is not. It tells you to look at the PCRE docs which tells you what
regular expressions are and how they work. It does not, as of the last time
I checked, tell you how they are implemented in TB! or provide examples of how
to use them in TB!. Without those all important implementation details
knowing regex is useless.
Remember, XNews, TB!, Python and Exim are all programs I use (some more
than others) that use PCRE. Not a one implements them the same way or in the
way, in fact, that Perl does even though they are "Perl Compatible Regular
Expressions."
