+  Here is a complicated regexp.  It is a simplified version of the

+together with any whitespace that follows.  We show its Lisp syntax to

+string constant begins and ends with a double-quote.  @samp{\"} stands

+part of the regexp, @samp{\t} for a tab, and @samp{\n} for a newline.
 
 @example
 "[.?!][]\"')]*\\($\\| $\\|\t\\|  \\)[ \t\n]*"
