enter a tab, and @kbd{C-j} to enter a newline. You would also type

single backslashes as themselves, instead of doubling them for Lisp syntax.

@cindex authoring regular expressions
|
||||
For easier authoring of regular expressions, you can use the @kbd{M-x
|
||||
re-builder} command. It provides a convenient interface for creating
|
||||
regular expressions, by giving immediate visual feedback. The buffer
|
||||
from which @code{re-builder} was invoked becomes the target for the
|
||||
regexp editor, which pops in a separate window. Text that matches the
|
||||
regular expression you typed so far is color marked in the target
|
||||
buffer. Each parenthesized sub-expression of the regexp is shown in a
|
||||
distinct face, which makes it easier to verify even very complex
|
||||
regexps. (On displays that don't support colors, Emacs blinks the
|
||||
cursor around the matched text, like it does for matching parens.)
