* Simplify regular expressions (see below) * Remove unneeded `parseYAML()` wrapper * Remove unused callback argument Regular expression simplifications include: * Changing trailing `*?$/` to `*$/` because non-greedy matching to the end of a line will not change behavior * Change regexp beginnings like `/^(?:property:?\s*)?[^.\[]+` to the equivalent `/[^.\]]+` * For regular expressions changed per the above, remove case-insensitivity if it no longer affects the regexp PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10442 Reviewed-By: James M Snell <jasnell@gmail.com> Reviewed-By: Italo A.

Here's how the node docs work.
1:1 relationship from lib/<module>.js to doc/api/<module>.md
Each type of heading has a description block.
## module
<!-- YAML
added: v0.10.0
-->
> Stability: 3 - Stable
description and examples.
### module.property
<!-- YAML
added: v0.10.0
-->
* Type
description of the property.
### module.someFunction(x, y, [z=100])
<!-- YAML
added: v0.10.0
-->
* `x` {String} the description of the string
* `y` {Boolean} Should I stay or should I go?
* `z` {Number} How many zebras to bring.
A description of the function.
### module.someNewFunction(x)
<!-- YAML
added: REPLACEME
-->
* `x` {String} the description of the string
This feature is not in a release yet.
### Event: 'blerg'
<!-- YAML
added: v0.10.0
-->
* Argument: SomeClass object.
Modules don't usually raise events on themselves. `cluster` is the
only exception.
## Class: SomeClass
<!-- YAML
added: v0.10.0
-->
description of the class.
### Class Method: SomeClass.classMethod(anArg)
<!-- YAML
added: v0.10.0
-->
* `anArg` {Object} Just an argument
* `field` {String} anArg can have this field.
* `field2` {Boolean} Another field. Default: `false`.
* Return: {Boolean} `true` if it worked.
Description of the method for humans.
### someClass.nextSibling()
<!-- YAML
added: v0.10.0
-->
* Return: {SomeClass object | null} The next someClass in line.
### someClass.someProperty
<!-- YAML
added: v0.10.0
-->
* String
The indication of what someProperty is.
### Event: 'grelb'
<!-- YAML
added: v0.10.0
-->
* `isBlerg` {Boolean}
This event is emitted on instances of SomeClass, not on the module itself.
