[PATCH 2/5] doc: fix synopsis analysis logic

From
Jean-Noël Avila via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date

Message-ID
<6206e65ac4d50e174ad7e3dbafaa590b632f214b.1743354964.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1896.git.1743354964.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: =?UTF-8?q?Jean-No=C3=ABl=20Avila?= <jn.avila@free.fr>

The synopsis analysis logic was not able to handle backslashes and stars which are used in the synopsis of the git-rm command. This patch fixes the issue by updating the regular expression used to match the keywords.
