Bug description:documentation of regexp is difficult to read

Description:
------------
http://www.php.net/manual/en/regexp.reference.delimiters.php

documentation of regexp is difficult to read:
 - it is separated to several pages. there is no way to search.
 - it is very long, there are irrelevant paragraphs.
 - i did not found a simple syntax diagram.

i have to read thousands and thousands letters each day.
please keep documentation short and simple!

i recently came across php. i do not like it. its badly designed. its
documentation is very complex, difficult to read (it is the indication of
bad design), difficult to code. the language itself is full of exceptions,
unnecessary constructions. it is awful.
