Bug #6523
closedtypos/display errors in Regexp.html page
Description
I was looking through the Regexp class documentation found at
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Regexp.html
... and found a number of problems that appeared to be either display issues or typos.
Most notably, throughout the entire document the { characters at the start of the %{...} contruct are missing. In many cases the closing } character is missing, too; in some cases it appears that a closing / character is used in the example, even though the RE was started with "%r".
Needly to say, this makes understanding the examples rather difficult....
Possibly related to the same issue, in the example definition of the float_pat expression found in the "Free-Spacing Mode and Comments", I don't see the "x" option actually specified anywhere in the example code....
In the "Performance" section of the page, there is a somewhat different type of issue: in the "Match a string of 29 as against a pattern of 29 optional" example, I don't see any actual call to .match() (though one does appear in the the next example down).
I checked the page in several versions of Firefox and also Safari, so I don't believe the issues are related to a specific browser.
Thanks.
