PCRE

[DanConnelly]

I am new to Magento.   I have an Community Edition 2.1.2 project running on my Linux box so I can learn the UI widgets.

So maybe this is a well-known in joke and I am just too new to get it.

PCRE usually refers to "Perl-compatible regular expressions".   However, the M2 documentation (many places) translates PCRE as "regular exceptions".   Exceptions?

I suspect this is a mistake.

Otherwise, the M2 documentation is understandable on technical details, though verbose, redundant and overly linked.

Hi @DanConnelly

You could create an issue for this to following url magento/devdocs.

The DevDocs team should look in to it. Provide a link also where you saw this issue.

For instance:   http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/frontend-dev-guide/themes/theme-apply.html

I have proposed the change on GitHub.   This one page only.   There are other pages needing this modification.
