Thanks for reporting this. I installed the attached patch, which renames the
section to "Pattern Syntax".

Please report this problem to whoever maintains the German version; it's not us
as we do only the English version. The German version's source should say who to
report to. Thanks.

hello,
in the manual there is the header "matcher selection" for selecting the
type of regular expression. Since a "matcher" is something that matches,
the matching criteria/matching sheme/matching method shouldn't be called
like this.
furthermore, in the german version it should be "bug-grep@" rather than
"bug-greps@".

thanks
