 .Sh "Sed Regular Expressions"
 The

 regular expressions are basic regular expressions (BRE's, see
 .Xr regex 3
 for more information).
 In addition,
-.Nm sed

 has the following two additions to BRE's:

 .Bl -enum -compact
 .It
 In a context address, any character other than a backslash
-.Po
-.Dq \e
-.Pc
+.Pq Ql \e
 or newline character may be used to delimit the regular expression.
 Also, putting a backslash character before the delimiting character
 causes the character to be treated literally.
 For example, in the context address \exabc\exdefx, the RE delimiter
 is an
-.Dq x
+.Sq x
 and the second
-.Dq x
+.Sq x
 stands for itself, so that the regular expression is
