    This document provides a summary of regular expression syntax including: 1. Assertions like lookahead, lookbehind, and capturing/non-capturing groups. 2. Quantifiers like *, +, ?, {3}, {3,5} to specify the number of matches. 3. Character classes like \d, \w, [a-z], [A-Z] to match certain character categories. 4. Special characters like ., |, ^, $, (, ), *, +, ? that have special meaning in regex and must be escaped. 5. Flags like g, i, m, s, x, U that change the behavior of matching. 6
