  Description     : Emacs mode to convert between PCRE, Emacs and rx regexp syntax

This package provides `pcre2el' or `rxt' (RegeXp Translator or RegeXp
Tools), a utility for working with regular expressions in Emacs,
based on a recursive-descent parser for regexp syntax. In addition to
converting (a subset of) PCRE syntax into its Emacs equivalent, it
can do the following:

 - convert Emacs syntax to PCRE;
 - convert either syntax to `rx', an S-expression based regexp syntax
   untangle complex regexps by;
 - showing the parse tree in `rx' form and highlighting the;
 - corresponding chunks of code show the complete list of strings
   (productions) matching a regexp, provided the list is finite;
 - provide live font-locking of regexp syntax (so far only for Elisp
   buffers).
