Version 0.2.1 of package Easy-Escape has just been released in GNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Easy-Escape describes itself as: =============================================================== Improve readability of escape characters in regular expressions =============================================================== More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/easy-escape.html ## Summary: `easy-escape-minor-mode' uses syntax highlighting and composition to make ELisp regular expressions more readable. More precisely, it hides double backslashes preceding regexp specials (`()|'), composes other double backslashes into single ones, and applies a special face to each. The underlying buffer text is not modified. For example, `easy-escape` prettifies this: "\\(?:\\_<\\\\newcommand\\_>\\s-*\\)?" into this (`^' indicates a different color): "(?:\_<\\newcommand\_>\s-*)?". ^ ^ ## Recent NEWS: [Not provided 🙁]
