------
An ignore file is a plain text file consisting of a list of patterns,
-with one pattern per line. Empty lines are skipped. The "`#`"
-character is treated as a comment character, and the "`\`" character
+with one pattern per line. Empty lines are skipped. The "``#``"
+character is treated as a comment character, and the "``\``" character
is treated as an escape character.
Mercurial supports several pattern syntaxes. The default syntax used
is Python/Perl-style regular expressions.
-To change the syntax used, use a line of the following form:

-syntax: NAME

+where ``NAME`` is one of the following:
-regexp::
+``regexp``
Regular expression, Python/Perl syntax.
-glob::
+``glob``
Shell-style glob.
The chosen syntax stays in effect when parsing all patterns that
follow, until another syntax is selected.
Neither glob nor regexp patterns are rooted. A glob-syntax pattern of
-the form "`*.c`" will match a file ending in "`.c`" in any directory,
-and a regexp pattern of the form "`\.c$`" will do the same. To root a
-regexp pattern, start it with "`^`".
