Description:	The 'REGEX' function's documentation is sparse and needs improvement. A suggested update is attached as a diff. There is also a 'whitespace.diff' which removes trailing whitespace from text entries, removing double spaces. {code}  -= Info about function 'SHARED' =- [Synopsis] Gets or sets the shared variable specified. [Description] Implements a shared variable area, in which you may share variables between channels. The variables used in this space are separate from the general namespace of the channel and thus ${SHARED(foo)} and ${foo}  represent two completely different variables, despite sharing the same name. {code} Note how there is two spaces between $\{foo} and 'represent'

By: xrobau (xrobau) 2016-10-16 18:41:48.539-0500 Note that there are *two* patches attached to this. The first, 'whitespace.diff', removes trailing whitespace from text fields in functions, which causes multiple spaces to appear in the documentation The second patch is the REGEX patch, which does depend on whitespace.diff (or, you can manually put the spaces back into the patch). By: Corey Farrell (coreyfarrell) 2016-10-17 09:39:47.199-0500 Strange about the white-space.  CR, LF and tab are all whitespace, and I thought XML is supposed to replace consecutive whitespace with a single space.
