[section:perl_format Perl Format String Syntax]

Perl-style format strings treat all characters as literals except 
'$' and '\\' which start placeholder and escape sequences respectively.

Placeholder sequences specify that some part of what matched the regular expression 
should be sent to output as follows:

[table
[[Placeholder][Meaning]]
[[$&][Outputs what matched the whole expression.]]
[[$`][Outputs the text between the end of the last match found (or the 
      start of the text if no previous match was found), and the start 
      of the current match.]]
[[$'][Outputs all the text following the end of the current match.]]
[[$$][Outputs a literal '$']]
[[$n][Outputs what matched the n'th sub-expression.]]
]

Any $-placeholder sequence not listed above, results in '$' being treated 
as a literal.

An escape character followed by any character x, outputs that character unless 
x is one of the escape sequences shown below.


[table
[[Escape][Meaning]]
[[\\a][Outputs the bell character: '\\a'.]]
[[\\e][Outputs the ANSI escape character (code point 27).]]
[[\\f][Outputs a form feed character: '\\f']]
[[\\n][Outputs a newline character: '\\n'.]]
[[\\r][Outputs a carriage return character: '\\r'.]]
[[\\t][Outputs a tab character: '\\t'.]]
[[\\v][Outputs a vertical tab character: '\\v'.]]
[[\\xDD][Outputs the character whose hexadecimal code point is 0xDD]]
[[\\x{DDDD}][Outputs the character whose hexadecimal code point is 0xDDDDD]]
[[\\cX][Outputs the ANSI escape sequence "escape-X".]]
[[\\D][If D is a decimal digit in the range 1-9, then outputs the text that matched sub-expression D.]]
[[\\l][Causes the next character to be outputted, to be output in lower case.]]
[[\\u][Causes the next character to be outputted, to be output in upper case.]]
[[\\L][Causes all subsequent characters to be output in lower case, until a \\E is found.]]
[[\\U][Causes all subsequent characters to be output in upper case, until a \\E is found.]]
[[\\E][Terminates a \\L or \\U sequence.]]
