I would guess this is a most people find it. cheers jan (but please see other reply on this thread which shows why I've been getting confused about what I'm seeing) On 05/05/2020, Richard Stallman wrote: > [[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider ]]] > [[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies, ]]] > [[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]] > > You've explained that the division of the regexp documentation caused > a problem for you.
