[elpa] externals/xr 9358474 1/3: Replace README.org with plain-text README |

branch: externals/xr
commit 935847437133600396c7d86f16c677ad883c8c99
Author: Mattias Engdegård <address@hidden>
Commit: Mattias Engdegård <address@hidden>
Replace README.org with plain-text README
It is much easier to read than a .org file in plain text, and not much
worse than github's htmlised version.

+ xr -- Emacs regexp parser and analyser
+ ======================================
+
+XR converts Emacs regular expressions to the structured rx form, thus
+being an inverse of rx. It can also find mistakes and questionable
+constructs inside regexp strings.
+
+It can be useful for:
+
+- Migrating existing code to rx form
+- Understanding what a regexp string really means
+- Finding errors in regexp strings
+
+It can also parse and find mistakes in skip-sets, the regexp-like
+arguments to skip-chars-forward and skip-chars-backward.
+
+The xr package can be used interactively or by other code as a library.
+
+* Example
+
+ (xr-pp "\\`\\(?:[^^]\\|\\^\\(?: \\*\\|\\[\\)\\)")
+
+ outputs
+
+ (seq bos
+ (or (not (any "^"))
+ (seq "^"
+ (or " *" "["))))
+
+* Installation
+
+ From GNU ELPA (https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/xr.html):
+
+ M-x package-install RET xr RET
+
+* Interface
+
+ Functions parsing regexp strings:
+
+ xr -- convert regexp to rx
+ xr-pp -- convert regexp to rx and pretty-print
+ xr-lint -- find mistakes in regexp
+
+ Functions parsing skip sets:
+
+ xr-skip-set -- convert skip-set to rx
+ xr-skip-set-pp -- convert skip-set to rx and pretty-print
+ xr-skip-set-lint -- find mistakes in skip-set
+
+ Utility:
+
+ xr-pp-rx-to-str -- pretty-print rx expression to string
+
+* See also
+
+ The relint package (https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/relint.html) uses xr
+ to find regexp mistakes in elisp code.
+
+ The lex package (https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/lex.html), a lexical
+ analyser generator, provides the lex-parse-re function which
+ translates regexps to rx, but does not attempt to handle all the
+ edge cases of Elisp's regexp syntax or pretty-print the result.
+
+ The pcre2el package (https://github.com/joddie/pcre2el), a regexp
+ syntax converter and interactive regexp explainer, can also be used
+ for translating regexps to rx. However, xr is more accurate for this
+ purpose.
