Nice guide! As a complete regex-dyslectic i didn't know the slash '/' could be used to make expressions more readable.

On another note, since this is supposed to be a book and all, is there a simple way to get this on one a single page and make it easier to print?

That's not really true. The guide seems to be javascript centric. The slash and flags is not part of the regex, it's a delimiter. In certain contexts like sed, perl, php, an arbitrary delimiter can be used to avoid needing to escape slashes. If you pass a string to a regex engine with a /, it does what you would expect, match a literal /. For instance, python and grep does not interpret slashes and flags. Those are pretty common.

Thanks for the heads up, it seems i have some more reading to do :)

That's on my TODO!

I was having some trouble with wkhtmltopdf, but I'll try to figure this out ASAP.

I don't know what that is but just having all html pages merged into one would be enough and super useful for me and my printing purposes, and probably good for web UX too. Keep up the good work mate
