[edit] Usage
Once installed, editors of your wiki can evaluate regular expressions in one of two ways: simple match, and replacement.
For example, say you're trying to grab the last portion of a Title which is using '/' delimiting subpage notation. For that, you could use:
{{#regex:{{PAGENAME}}|%^.*/(.*)$%|$1}}
