I see that the Sigil Clip Editor has some basic regex (e.g., the first numbered group

Code:

\1

matches the entire selected text in the replace text and

Code:

\U

recalls the text with the entire selected text in uppercase), but I don't see any specification of the syntax for the Clip Editor. Does anyone know what the full range of regex available to the Clip Editor?
Specifically, I am wondering if I can easily parse the selected text using regex pattern and replace it with some other text using the Clips functionality.
