Seems to me like the following sections are missing, and their links in the ToC are dead:
4. Advanced Learning From Selected Example Scripts
a. inlineMapExample
b. Auto Miner Bot Example - How to write a little Bot with Mudlet?

5. Custom GUI Elements
a. User Terminal Windows
b. Custom Mini Text Displays - Scripting Labels
c. Scripting Buttons
d. User Custom Graphics Windows

Example, from another thread (which I can't find), of accounting for optional info/arguments/parameters in an alias. This same method works anywhere in a regex, but I find I use it only for alias' myself.

^qwerty(?: (\w+))?$

I do this for quite a few spell alias' which don't need targets if you are already in combat. Code is like:
Code: [show] | [select all] lua
if matches[2] then send("do_something to " .. matches[2]) else send("do_something") end

While trying to help someone else I found this other online regex tester: www.regextester.com/. This one will tell you what is in the matches table from your pattern.
