 <code>grep</code> understands
 three different versions of regular expression syntax:
-&ldquo;basic,&rdquo; (BRE) &ldquo;extended&rdquo; (ERE) and &ldquo;perl&rdquo;.
+&ldquo;basic&rdquo; (BRE), &ldquo;extended&rdquo; (ERE) and &ldquo;perl&rdquo; 
(PCRE).
 In GNU <code>grep</code>,
 there is no difference in available functionality between the basic and
 extended syntaxes.
 In other implementations, basic regular expressions are less powerful.
 The following description applies to extended regular expressions;
 differences for basic regular expressions are summarized afterwards.
-Perl regular expressions give additional functionality, and are
-documented in the <i>pcresyntax</i>(3) and <i>pcrepattern</i>(3) manual pages,
-but work only if PCRE is available in the system.
